Can you guess the word that's most often used by members of Alabama's Congressional delegation? If you guessed 'Alabama' you're wrong.

In fact, the word the group has used the most often since 1996 is "Huntsville," thanks mostly to a spike around 2000 when the state was dealing with Base Realignment and Closure decisions.

Wondering how anyone would know this? The Sunlight Foundation's website CapitolWords.org tracks the most popular words and phrases that show up in the Congressional record. It tracks the words by state and then by individual legislator.

For Alabama's legislative delegation, the words that show up the most in comparison to all other words used by the group are:

Huntsville Alabama Alabama's Amendment Auburn

Here's how the Sunlight Foundation describes how the lists are determined:

"The (entries) on the Capitol Words site that show the occurrences of words and phrases over time do so by using the relative frequency of the word or phrase. That is, the number of times the given word or phrase occurred divided by the total number of words or phrases of that size for that time period, multiplied by 100. This gives a better idea of how popular a term really was because it takes into account how much action there was in Congress in that time period."

And what about the individual lawmakers? Here is a list of the most-frequently used words by each member of the Congressional delegation.

Sen. Jeff Sessions - Amnesty.

Sen. Richard Shelby - Tuscaloosa

Rep. Martha Roby - MACT. What you ask? MACT is Maximum Achievable Control Technology Standards, or MACT standards, to reduce the effects of Hazardous Air Pollutants generated by industry.

Rep. Mike Rogers - Anniston

Rep. Robert Aderholt - Aderholt's own name comes in first followed by "requesting"

Rep. Mo Brooks - Binge. That's a weird one for sure but it's followed by the more expected "whereas" and "unsustainable." A further search through Capitol Words looks like the binge word was used by Brooks in relation to "spending binge."

Rep. Spencer Bachus - Birmingham

Rep. Terri Sewell - Selma.

The site doesn't yet have information on Rep. Bradley Byrne, who took office this year.

The use of certain words may not tell us a whole lot about each lawmaker, though Sessions' use of "amnesty" is perhaps the most telling as he's the leading opponent of the White House's immigration plans. However, the site also lets you track how often a particular state's Congressional delegation used a word or phrase as compared to other delegations.
