One study said that on average, we say around 500-700 words of actual value per day. Ain’t much, if you ask me, but today we’ll be looking at the best or the most viral of those around the English-speaking world over the past 20 years. 20 years of world events, fashion trends, relationship styles, socio-economic tendencies, online presence and so on, and 20 words to represent each of them. Sit down, relax, try to remember where you were back in, say, 2009 and what people were talking about, and guess what the word of the year might have been.
Ready? Off we go!
