Ok so we've already had "sloppleganger" and now we've got "choppleganger" so I'm tentatively putting out "-ppleganger" as a #woty "most creative" candidate

In related news I really want a "missed connections" #WOTY category for words that never made it to the ballot or got very few votes but that slid into everyone's vocabulary anyway.

'nuremburg' the verb is going to be a strong #woty contender in 2026

This week, it's the highlight of any FMI Season, because Ben Zimmer joins Ryan and Brian to discuss the 2025 Word of the Year! There's still plenty of the same slop there's always been, but skip to the 31-minute mark if you're here for The Barnacle. #woty #crossword #podcast bemoresmarter.com/fmi

“Slop” also rose to the top of the #WOTY list at the American Dialect Society. It was already on the radar in 2024, nominated (as AI slop) for Digital Word of the Year. It lost that year to "brain rot," but it was gaining ground.

The annual #WOTY selections are a way for dictionaries to boost PR, but they rarely agree on what that one word should be. But for 2025, many organizations converged on a single word: slop.

Never chosen a word of the year before, but seen others & I was inspired.

After thinking on it, my word for 2026 is patience.

Something I struggle with. Something I need to learn… being forced to learn. A difficult lesson, but a life-changing and beneficial one.

Word Of The Year – 2026 edition! #WOTY Heal Another new year has arrived. Hello, 2026. And wishing you all a Happy New Year, too! Welcome to 2026! I feel like every year, recently, I step into the new tentatively, not fully convinced that what is going to be presented to me is going to be positive, and that is very unlike me. There is still so much horribleness around the world, and though I try to raise awareness, I feel like I can't do anything that really helps others.

#woty folks, I know it’s not that new or special to this year but “skill issue” should get some love at some point. It’s really one of the great rhetorical advances of the English language

2019 UK-to-US Word of the Year: knock-on

I was going to nominate "knock-on" -- as in "knock-on effects," much in the US news because of tariffs -- but it was the 2019 UK-to-US #woty!

A colorful digital vision board titled "My 2026 word-of-the-year" set against a blue-and-white grid background. At the top left, a rainbow sits above the word "Glimmers." The board features several photos: a person with curly hair listening to music with headphones, a vibrant sunset over a field of daisies, a person reading a book in bed, someone sitting at a desk by a window, and a green potted plant in the sunlight. Decorative elements include a unicorn pencil, a row of colorful hearts, a "Make it Happen!" sticker, and a small signpost pointing in two directions labeled "2026 Vibes."

Come volevasi dimostrare: la spiegazione di “bio hacking”
data in Sette, il settimanale del Corriere della Sera, in un articolo su parole dell’anno in inglese. Peccato che #biohacking non c’entri nulla con “hackerare” e tantomeno con la biologia, che è una disciplina scientifica.
