Public Address | Cafe | Hard News: Public Address Word of the Year 2021: Discussion and nomination https://publicaddress.net/system/cafe/ en-us Copyright (c) 2026 Public Address izogi https://publicaddress.net/system/cafe/hard-news-public-address-word-of-the-year-11/?p=384951#post384951 https://publicaddress.net/system/cafe/hard-news-public-address-word-of-the-year-11/?p=384951#post384951 I hope freedumb doesn’t win.

We’ve had so much challenging divisiveness this year, justified on the grounds that it’s necessary. Freedumb’s amusing and funny in some contexts, but to me seeing Russell go into media and declare it word of the year would be unnecessary and probably unhelpful.

(won't win, but I feel obliged to complain every year that the first part of the year gets ignored, and we actually do Word of Recent Months)

Yes. Always noteworthy when a word enters another language. It's part of NZ English now.

Exile.
I've been stuck in limbo in Japan since March 2020 (when I was called back from NZ despite classes then going online-only for the rest of the year, no I'm not bitter at all about that...). Eventually announced my retirement…

Vaxxed!

Has to be this.

An astonishingly ugly word for something that used to be entirely uncontroversial, borrowed from the anti-vaccine sphere, embraced by “pfully pfizered” social media users and set to prompt stupid arguments online well into 2023.

Love the vaccine, ’ate the word, simple as. But it belongs…

Never has the term been imprinted on a generation’s minds in such a clarion call outside wartime (cold included, perhaps, at its most paranoid moments). Friends end their calls with a “stay safe” sign-off. It wouldn't have occurred as frequently pre-pandemic. You are urged to be safe, get safe…
