woty (13. 045)

Corresponding with the reflections and partial closure of the last post, James Asher has assembled a pretty cromulent catalogue of Unworter leading up to his nominee for Word of the Year with daily honourable mentions spanning the entire month of December, phrases, nicknames and neologisms (which does carry another meaning aside from novel coinage for the nonce in psychiatric circles, for instance in schizophrenia patients substituting a word of their own invention whose meaning is only known to them—c.f., covfefe) sourced to the Trump administration. Do peruse the full listing but some standout runners-up so far have been MRI Reveal Party, Affordability, Bubba, 6-7, TACO, the $melania meme coin, Gulf of Mexico, cankles, A1 and WhiskeyLeaks.  What is your favourite?
