Korean pop sensation Psy may cement his place in popular culture with recognition from a British dictionary.

Psy's signature song "Gangnam Style" has been chosen as Collins Dictionary's words of the year.

Appearing on the Collins words of the year list is no guarantee of insertion in the next dictionary.

But the dictionary's consultant editor Ian Brookes says Gangnam Style stands a very good chance.

Other words of the year include "fiscal cliff", "Romneyshambles" and "superstorm". There are twelve words of the year in total, and one for each month.

Collins received over 7-thousand submissions on its online database.
