  1. So the Oxford University Press Word of the year is "rage bait" which narrowly fought off aura farming and biohack. Last year it was brainrot. Humanity's relationship with social media clearly isn't healthy. We need to show more discernment in our reading procurement. I would rather ask a librarian rather than Musk's or Zuckerberg's algorithms what to read next. An hour in your local library beats an hour scrolling. Your brain will thank you. #wordoftheyear #iamreading #OUP #readbetter bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cewjxq

  2. ‘Brain rot’ named Oxford Word of the Year 2024

    In 2024, ‘brain rot’ is used to describe both the cause and effect of this, referring to low-quality, low-value content found on social media and the internet, as well as the subsequent negative impact that consuming this type of content is perceived to have on an individual or society.

  3. The #Faroese #WordOfTheYear 2023 is #vitlíki - artificial intelligence. It comes from words #vit (intelligence, brains) and #líki (equal, like).

    Listeners of the ‘Góðan morgun #Føroyar morning radio programme have been sending in their nominations for their favourite new Faroese word. The judging panel, representing Faroese language and media institutions, settled on ‘#vitlíki’ as their word of the year 2023.

  4. My word for 2023 will be "attentiveness", which will be a welcome change from the fugue of the past three years. #wordoftheyear #attentiveness

  5. Goblin Mode is the Oxford word of the year. No hyphen. It seems to me that either that makes it two words or that Oxford is really leaning into that choice.

  6. GOBLIN MODE 👺

    Keep your Christmas party drinks,
    I’m indulging 40 winks,
    Lazy as a sleeping toad,
    For I am in #GoblinMode.
