Unvaxxed, Vaccine hesitant, sexting, butt-dial, and glamping.
Apparently, I was born when anti-vaxxers started emerging and smartphones became mainstream.

since gaslighting is supposed to be the merriam-webster word of the year, throwback to the time i told my mom that she was gaslighting me and she complained to my dad that i had "called her a gas light"

i really want to bring back the joy of merriam webster’s time travel feature wherein we all discover what words were “born” in the same year as we were.
for me? LARPing, cybersex, BDSM, OG, verklempt, and pescatarian are stand-outs 😂
#I knew pescatarians didn’t exist before 1991#also makes me nostalgic seeing SMS on that list#so many everyday tech terms#90s kid#merriamwebster#time travel#language#words#slang#millennials#90s nostalgia

Let me tell you, as a non native speaker writing in English, my guy Merriam-Webster is my best friend in the whole wide world
#especially the thesaurus#because I really don't want to use words like 'look' approximately 15 times in as many sentences#I may be able to translate other words into my own language#but that doesn't mean I don't need a little help while writing#unfortunately my mind won't come up with many synonyms on its own#yet#fanfiction#writing#relatable#merriamwebster

Holy shit!
Merriam-Webster has named “gaslighting” as 2022’s word of the year.
I’m done. I’m packing up now.

ಜನರು ನಿಘಂಟುಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ವಿಶಿಷ್ಟ ರೀತಿಯ ಪದಗಳನ್ನು ಕುತೂಹಲಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಹುಡುಕಾಟ ನಡೆಸುವುದು ಸಾಮಾನ್ಯ ಸಂಗತಿ. ಪ್ರತಿ ವರ್ಷವು ಕೆಲವೊಂದು ಪದಗಳ ಅರ್ಥ ಹುಡುಕಲು, ಮಾಹಿತಿ ಪಡೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳಲು, ಇಲ್ಲವೆ ಮತ್ಯಾವುದೋ ಕಾರಣಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ನಿಘಂಟು ಅಥವಾ ಸರ್ಚ್ ಇಂಜಿನ್ಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಸಾರ್ವಜನಿಕರು ಗೂಗಲ್ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಾರೆ.
