Flusterfuck, n. A completely disheveled and agitated hot mess. ‘Getting on the tram and running late, Andy dropped his phone, and when bending down to get it his bag slipped and fell from his shoulder, his mask bent both his ears forward and then slingshot his fogged up glasses across the tram floor. What a flusterfuck.’

Am now adopting the term 'spruik' to reference *anything* that claims to be the future of the internet. I think it's entirely appropriate to use an archaic Australian slang verb with the meaning:

To spin, pimp, pitch, tout, hawk, as 'those who spruik outside sleazy bars'.

🎯 Spot On! 🤌👍

Our other Mastodon instance is still in limbo, so here's a new reintroduction. “A Way with Words” is an upbeat and lively public radio show and podcast about language examined through culture, history, and family. You can hear it coast-to-coast by radio in the United States, in every major podcast app, and on our website https://waywordradio.org. #language #linguistics #sociolinguistics #etymology #neologisms #slang #folklore #newwords #dictionaries #radio #publicradio #podcasts #podcasting

A "ChadGPT" is the Chad who's always using Chat-GPT to think for him and always swears it was his idea. ChadGPT uses ChatGPT to sound smart in conversations, but in reality, he has no real intelligence or original thoughts of his own. He uses ChatGPT for Tinder, to argue with Turbo Tax customer support, for his grad school thesis and at every occasion to sound casually superior to everyone he encounters from morning til midnight... especially at the afters.

DUH-licious - the taste of victory when you finally get someone to admit that he was obviously wrong. #newwords

In case anyone else wants a phrase for "this week between Christmas and New Year's, where very little can get done, because practically everyone is on vacation", I've been referring to it as the Dead Week for some years now. #coinage #neologism #newWords #language

English is picking up brilliant new words from around the world – and that’s a gift, writes Danica Salazar. Yes, we now have many Englishes and lovely new words. lepak (to loiter aimlessly) from Malay, deurmekaar (confused, muddled) from Afrikaans, kaveera (a plastic bag) from Luganda, and whāngai (an adopted child and the adoption itself) from Māori, now in the OED.

@Melisandre
I think we all should use "thunk" a lot. All the "...ought" words annoy me.

Thunk has a pretty large following. (Starting near 1876, says etymonline.) I started using it when I was a kid, after Twain, or Walt Kelly, or someone like that. I always thunk the "...ought" words are there just to make english tests less fun. (Silly bunt.)

A new (old) word today:
forswunk (verb forswink)
I recommend clicking the link for the forswunk squirrel picture.

“Forswunk is an adjective that means exhausted by hard work, or overworked. The verb is forswink: to tire or exhaust through labour.
“Both are words from Middle English. I don’t even care that the Collins English Dictionary says these words are now obsolete. ‘Forswunk’ is a fabulous word and I’m going to use it.”

There’s nothing worse than adding new vocab into the flashcard deck 😔 I already have a little time to study languages, I really hate wasting it in this way 🥲
