There are two big types of news in this episode:
- Important celebrity word news from the worlds of Hilaria Baldwin and Wagatha Christie 🕵🏼
- Important annual word news from the Word of the Year committees around the world
It's a bumper episode as Lindsay dropped in to discuss all those words that made our 2020, including
- lockdown
- coronavirus
- rona / Miss Rona
- BLM / Black Lives Matter
- Samfundssind
- PPE
- Karen
AND MANY MORE!! 😄
I have a bunch of small corrections from this episode:
- I got the German gender letters wrong when talking about Gendersternchen and job applications, it’s not n for the 3rd option but d (to mean “divers”).
- The French word "déconfinement" isn't "confinement"or "lockdown" but the period after: the confinement is being "undone", usually in small steps, a de-lockdown, so to say (Merci to Ines)
- TERF stands for trans exclusionary radical feminist, which makes way more sense than my guess "revolutionary" (Thanks to Ines)
