Y'all. Kraft just erected an 8 foot tall monument to its own mayonnaise outside of Merriam Webster's HQ in Springfield in an effort to make "Moist" Merriam Webster's word of the year. It feels like an article from the fucking Onion but this is real life

The Pushkin State Russian Language Institute has crowned its Word of the Year 2024, and guess what? The word is... Пушкин (Pushkin). 🙃

Because nothing sums up a whole year of global chaos, breakthroughs, and drama better than a 19th-century poet's name, right? 🥴

The runners-up were:

семья (family)

искусственный интеллект (artificial intelligence)

выборы (elections)

квадроберы (quadrobers 🤷‍♀️).

What the fuck are they smoking?

Highlights from the conference room where they nominated contenders for Word of the Year 2023:

• They put Skibidi Toilet on the projector to explain what “skibidi” means.

• Baby Gronk was mentioned.

• We discussed the Rizzler.

• “Cunty” was nominated.

• “Enshittification” was suggested for EVERY category.

• “Blue Check” (like from Twitter) was briefly defined as “Someone who will not Shut The Fuck Up”

• The person writing notes briefly defined babygirl as “referencing [The Speaker]”. He is now being called babygirl in the linguist groupchats.

• MULTIPLE people raised their hand to say “I cannot stress this enough: ‘Babygirl’ refers to a GROWN MAN”

A look inside the front cover of my Hobonichi Weeks. I have my word of the year, a place to put whatever Gloomies card is speaking to me in the moment, and my DopaMenu. The DopaMenu is a list of activities that increase dopamine in the brain, divided up into a menu that makes activity selection easier during times I have trouble with decision-making.

Note: Gloomies cards are by @petite-gloom .

DopaMenu concept is by YouTube channel, HowToADHD.

“Swiftie” is officially one of The Oxford Languages “Words Of The Year”

The word was more than 10 times more common in September 2023 than a year before in September 2022, with a noticeable uptick in the use of the word likely related to the success of The Eras Tour.
