Language has always been the social mediummost strongly impacted by shifts in society.No matter how large or small, people are constantly coming up with terms to describe the cultural phenomena thatsurround them. The world can change in a year, a month,or even a week, and words we use in conversation oftenact as a cultural barometer for our common emotions. And since the so-called keepers of our lexicon aren’tquite keeping up (looking at you, Merriam-Webster),we bring you our Cultural Dictionary, chock-full of funwords and slang that we’ve heard within the past year.Plus with “Change” in the air, we decided to notonly highlight new fun words, but to connectthose words to emerging trends that will continueto impact our culture in the years to come.
