"Grifter" is coming up much more than it used to, with good reason.

Re: Word of the Year
It's been used a ton, and I don't think (most) of the young people using it are really doing so a junk-science Dua Lipa way but just sorta a pop culture "Just gonna put this out there" type of way. Probably a good choice, but the article failed to be meta about it and talk about how the word manifested itself to work of the year. No wonder journalism is dead.MFS62 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2024 4:26 pm From the Cambridge Dictionary -
