Sep 21 2023 - New Words Trending 2023

 

I enjoy new words, so I thought I would get right on it.   Here they are:

  • Micro-Influencer The term “micro-influencer” is one such trendy word that has recently become part of the current language. 
  • JOMO The term JOMO, or “Joy of Missing Out”, has become a popular new English word to describe the pleasure of not having to keep up with the latest trends or activities.
  • Vacation Shaming 
  • Tech Neck
  • Phubbing
  • Goblin Mode 
  • Deplatform 
  • Copypasta 
I can't guess what some of these mean.  What is phubbing?  Paying attention to your phone instead of the people you are with. It was coined in 2013.  Goblin Mode: intense focus and productivity when trying to complete a project or task.  The person ignores distractions.  Copypasta - that's copy and paste for large amounts of text online.

Let's compare that list with this one:
  • GOAT – Greatest Of All Time
  • Dope – Awesome
  • Sic/Sick – Next Level Cool
  • Lit – Amazing or exciting
  • Gucci – Good or going well
  • Salty – Bitter or angry
  • Litty again – exciting or wild once more
  • Permacrisis – A new word for 2023 that has been created to describe the current state of the world
These are from dictionary.com:  Information pollution, jawn, decision fatigue, jolabokaflod, grandfamily, NIL, algo, amalgagender.  There are more HERE

They describe something called hostile architecture:  design elements of public buildings and spaces that are intended to stop unwanted behavior such as loitering or sleeping in public by making such behavior difficult and uncomfortable.

And this one:  it describes a lot of our attitudes right now:  to pessimize - make less good, efficient, fast or functional.  It is the opposite of optimize.

As we head into Autumn, there are great views from Moyers Road in Vineland.  there's Toronto on the horizon.
