"Google" and "Tweet" are named words of the year, but the hosts focus on the "Dracula Sneeze"—the act of sneezing into one's elbow. They suspect the term is a media hoax or a manufactured phrase, as they have never heard it used in common parlance. The segment mocks news anchors for reporting on the term without questioning its validity or origin.
