Over the weekend
James Franco Tweeted the above photo and said “All the kids are doing it”. Turns out the Oscar host was on to something because Selfie was named the Word of the Year by
Oxford Dictionary. The word was added back in August along with pictures of Miley Cyrus, Lindsay Lohan and Amanda Bynes talking self portraits in the bathroom next to it. OK, I am lying about the last part, but not the word being in the dictionary.
So what other words made the list this year, they are binge-watch, bitcoin, olinguito, schmeat, showrooming and yes twerk was there too. Thankfully it was on the list because just like the SATs, I knew less than 50% of the words.
So now that Selfie is this year’s #1 word, I am sure we are going to see even more than we already do. Is that even possible?
