Subject: RE: BS: The Economist. Word of the year, 2025
The different dictionaries have nominated other WOTYS (Words of the Year).
Oxford University press goes for “rage bait” - (technically two words, of course!!)
Cambridge University press goes for “parasocial “.
Meriam-Webster also has “slop”.
And Collins has “vibe coding”. (Also not just one word.)
Take your pick! There are certainly plenty of “rage baiting” headlines about on social media!
