Re: Word of the Year for 2021

There’s no stopping me now, sorry about that. Here’s a word that might interest some of you and that is ‘quilling’ Although this word also has another meaning, it was added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2020 with the definition ‘the action or practice of bribing electors in order to gain their votes, especially by providing alcohol’ . Sorry to have to tell you but this practice is now banned under electoral law.

‘Awesomesauce’ means extremely good, excellent. ‘Nomophobia’ is a person’s fear of being without their phone or not able to use it, and ‘bumfuzzle’ is not relating to a hairy backside but means confused, perplexed, or flustered….

….and yes, you don’t need to tell me because I know – I need to get a life.
