Word of the Year

#1 Post by Vandal » Thu Oct 30, 2025 4:56 pm

67

Dictionary.com has officially revealed its newest Word of the Year.

The online dictionary announced Wednesday that "67" is the 2025 Word of the Year.

The annual pick serves as a "linguistic time capsule, reflecting social trends and global events that defined the year," according to Dictionary.com.

The term's exact origin is a bit unclear. Teachers and parents began hearing kids and teenagers use the term over the course of this year, and some say it can be interpreted as another way of saying "so-so," "maybe this" or "maybe that," the dictionary states.

Dictionary.com further explained that the term is a result of classic brainrot slang, which is "purposefully nonsensical and all about being in on the absurdity."

Why is 6 afraid of 7? Because 7 8 9.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
- Douglas Adams (1952 - 2001)

Si fractum non sit, noli id reficere.

Teach a child to be polite and courteous in the home and, when he grows up, he'll never be able to drive in New Jersey.

I predict that by next year, 67 will have been 86'd.
