ADS word of the year is out and it’s -ussy

is this better than Oxford Dictionaries’ “goblin mode”? unequivocally
“touch grass” almost won “digital woty” but lost to “-dle” as in “Wordle”
“informal woty” nominations (did not win):
• the ick: feeling of disgust about one’s date
• menty b: mental breakdown
“blorbo (from my shows)” was nominated for “most creative woty”
some good phrasal template nominees:
• it's the X for me: single out the funny or notable aspect of something
• X hits different: describe X as meaningfully affecting
a bit offended that “quiet quitting” won “most useful” and wasn’t even on the list for “euphemism of the year” (which was “special military operation”)
