  Words that buzzed the century
  
  LONDON -- The words that caught the mood of the
  decade are all there in a new book -- clone, concentration
  camp, gene, fetishism, paranoid, deja vu, hangover,
  depression.
  
  The Guinness book of the 20th century, published on
  Friday, lists the buzz-words for each decade this century,
  The Guardian reported.
  
  Clone was coined in 1903 by the journal Science to mean a
  "plant propagated by the use of any form of vegetative
  parts".
  
  It was borrowed for genetics in 1970 by an author who
  said people "most likely to replicate themselves will be
  narcissists".
  
  Fetishism, "often for shoes, rubber or underclothes", was
  defined by a psychologist in the 1900s.
  
  The mouse was christened in 1965 by English and
  Engelhardt in their book Computer-Aided Display as "a
  device called a mouse which we have developed for
  evaluation as a means of selectively displaying text entities".

  1900s: Curriculum vitae, hot dog, electronic;
  
  1910s: Jinx, floozy, birth control, loony bin;
