Die American Dialect Society hat die Endung "-ussy" zum Word of the Year 2022 gekürt. Die Endung ist ein kreatives, sprachliches Meme von TikTok. https://www.americandialect.org/2022-word-of-the-year-is-ussy #WotY #WortDesJahes

For those of you who like to watch the Grammar Girl podcast on YouTube, this week's word-of-the-year show is now live there too.

I talked with Valerie Fridland for her "Psychology Today" column about words of the year.

About halfway down the page, you'll find a bit about how Mastodon voting differed from LinkedIn voting.

@emacsomancer I find this interesting, since I've been researching #WotY for an, erm, "project". But this one is really disappointing. Reading through the press release, one of the candidates was "quiet quitting". That's the winner for me.

The American Dialect Society has chosen "-ussy" as the 2022 word of the year.

Chair @bgzimmer says, "The selection of the suffix -ussy highlights how creativity in new word formation has been embraced online in venues like TikTok,” Zimmer said. “The playful suffix builds off the word pussy to generate new slang terms. The process has been so productive lately on social media sites and elsewhere that it has been dubbed
-ussification.”

#today I'll continue my juggle of body, mind, spirit.

Exercise, write, haiku

Really the same as yesterday but I have some new ideas to think about today.

Living Simply.

Why I don't want to write bestsellers or win awards.

To refresh your memory, here's how the word-of-the-year voting went down.

You suggested 64 words that captured the 2022 zeitgeist, and we voted on brackets to narrow them down.
