man i clearly was busy this winter because i am only just learning that the Word of the Year for 2024 was “rawdog”

« Presiding at the Jan. 6 voting session were Ben Zimmer, chair of the ADS New Words Committee, and Dr. Kelly Elizabeth Wright of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, data czar of the New Words Committee. “Rawdog has recently and rapidly burst its sexual bounds to refer to engagement in any activity without the typical preparation or in stone-cold sobriety.” Dr. Wright said. “In 2024 folks rawdogged flights, family dinners, and final exams. As one nominator commented this evening, rawdog is a great choice for Word of the Year as we collectively rawdog the future of American politics in 2025.” »
