I like an account like https://twitter.com/NYT_first_said that posts when new 'words' appear in the Times for the first time. Gives a good sense at culture changing and when things are getting mainstream enough to be mentioned in articles etc. A fave from these pandemic times is: doomscrolling. ;)
Great recommendation, indeed. There are quite a few misspellings, but more often than not, it feels like a running record of humanity. „petrosexual“ is certainly a Word I didn’t know I needed to know.
Likely, most words will have their attribution set to a past year in most cases, meaning the word count for 2021 may be higher in some years.
Yeah, I wouldn't call those new words in the sense that "geocaching" or "blockchain" were new words when they appeared. Was "Biden administration" a new word in 2020?
Right, not 'new' exactly, but more often than not are recent at least, and have become culturally accepted enough to make it to major news which is notable.
Biden administration was most definitely a new word/phrase as it wouldn't be used or referred to anywhere until he was elected in late 2020.
