Hard News: Public Address Word of the…, in reply to Sacha,
How, how did you beat me to that?

I feel like I get beaten to the punch every year. So, sorry about this in advance, but here are all my nominations together.
From our election: Jacindamania.
From Trump: Covfefe.
From the UK: Corbynite.
From Australia: Plebiscite.
From the America’s Cup: Foiling.
From Hollywood: Weinstein.
From Hager: Naik, and Khak Khuday Dad.
From Auckland transport: Waterview. -
