Well that's not much fun.....perhaps not but they certainly gained their momentum over this last year. Who knew much about sanctuary cities until San Francisco became the city where an illegal shot and killed an innocent on the pier? Who knew there were so many version of "trans" until Bruce Jenner and the lawsuits over school bathrooms/college applications? Who knew much about safe spaces until a nitwit college professor tried to deploy one after inviting the press to watch students protest?
According to Mastermind, that one doesn't count. Urban Dictionary has a reference dating back to 2011.
and that's not the point of this thread, but rather to notate words/phrases that have really caught on in 2015
I'm looking for words (and phrases) that we rarely hear in conversation Before this year, I never heard anyone use the word conflate. Now it's almost on a daily basis. Same thing is happening with feckless. Nefarious was mainly that british dude on CNN regarding the Malaysia airlines missing airplane tragedy.
