On the other hand, here in Australia Macquarie Dictionary has announced its People's Choice Word of the Year for 2022. This is ‘Batchelor’s handbag’ – a phrase used to describe a supermarket roast chicken takeaway in a plastic bag..

As for their word of the year, the Macquarie Dictionary people have chosen ‘teal’ and define the word as "a political candidate who holds generally ideologically moderate views, but who supports strong action regarding environmental and climate action policies, and the prioritising of integrity in politics (so called as many of the candidates use the colour teal in their electoral material)". Phew!

and would you believe it - 'Truth-telling' was selected as the first runner-up for the title. Doesn’t actually go hand-in-hand with the winner.
