In 2009, the word is intensification.
2008 was an in intense experience for us all.

8. Above all: the languages of intensity. Since the body's, our, end isn't transcendence but excrement, the life of the body exists as pure intensity. The sexual and emotive languages.
9. The only religions are scatology and intensity.
10. Language that forgets itself. For if we knew that chance governs us and this world, that would be absolute knowledge.
