    Note: “Shirtfront” has been named Australia’s 2014 word of the year, the Australian National University announced recently on behalf of the Australian National Dictionary Center. The word rose to prominence after Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott promised to “shirtfront” Russian President Vladimir Putin over the down of the Malaysian airline MH17 over Ukraine. According to the center, “shirtfront” is a verb chiefly used in Australian rules football, meaning to deliver an aggressive front-on bump to an opponent, or a verb figuratively used to mean to challenge or confront someone.
