What the 2026 “word of the year” says about us

If you’re looking for a clue to understanding our culture, the annual “word of the year” can help. Last year, it was 67, pronounced “six-seven,” which Dictionary.com says is “purposefully nonsensical and all about being in on the absurdity.” A chaotic word seems appropriate for chaotic times. … Read More
