“-ussy” is the American Dialect Society’s 2022 Word of the Year
https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2023/01/ussy-american-dialect-societys-2022-word-year/

I still prefer the British #WOTY2022:
"Goblin-mode", for me preferably after a "M-x" aperitif!
You may guess why... :-Þ

thanks to @emdrums@twitter.com for chatting with me about @americandialect@twitter.com #woty2022 -USSY for @PhillyInquirer@twitter.com !

Ready to switch again from following the live tweets of American Dialect Society’s #WOTY2022 back to @charlotteclymer’s live tweeting of the 14th Speaker of the House vote. What a start to the year! (While running Mastodon on the side 😀 )

one thing i like about -ussy is the separation of gender away from genitals tbh #woty2022

Linguists - I’m helping run the unofficial slack for #LSA2023 again. Come say hi and talk about anything LSA related. We have a live chat channel for the #WOTY2022 vote tonight as well!

DM me if you’d like the join link (If you were on it last year you already have a login)

Q for any other #linguists experiencing #LSA2023 and #ADS2023 fomo. Is the #WordProm (#WOTY2022) going to be accessible online this year? If so, what's the schedule?

Goblin mode, homer, woman, and more.
