What would you nominate for "word of the year"?

I niominate the word “curated.” I’ve seen it in everything from bedding to chocolates. So sick of it.

I’ve been seeing the Australian word of the year, and I plan to use that a lot.

Enshittification.

Covfefe. Retroactively.

Mishigas. Lol.

From what I understand it’s been used a lot this year in the media.

Dynamic pricing

Kakistocracy.

I’m probably too out of touch with popular culture to make a decent nomination, but I am noticing the proliferation of the word “sweet” in soft news items, especially those about the royal family. It seems almost extraneous in some instances, as if the writers had a checklist to complete so they just stuck it in.

Otherwise, I think I might pick “divide” in its several forms: divided, divisive, division, etc.
