      That’s a phrase, not a word.

      Better headline “Oxford forgets what the word “word” means and desperately claws for attention, again”

      Ugh, Thoreau. Why is it always Thoreau, British people? What the hell do you see in that hack? We have so many better authors.

      Note to AVClub: it’s “hawking” wares, not “hocking” wares.

      I use the term loosely.

      Don’t want to pay attention to politics and just consume entertainment? Brain rot.

      Don’t want to engage in a discussion that’s beyond a couple sentences? Brain rot.

      They’re trying to source its origin to Thoreau’s Walden.

      I’m pretty sure it’s a coincidence.

      Clearly it’s a thing if people are willing to give trump another chance

      It’s more fitting than the organization that named the word of the year to be “demure” which was essentially a one week TikTok trend

      What about cope? Or base? Or skibbity? The youngest generations can barely use the English language but think they should be inventing new words and changing meanings.
