Interesting. That's quite a departure from the US where the word of the year is often something new that someone made up. More linked to popular culture and less about the social or economic issues that are taking place in the country.

That's more of a dictionary thing, right? Like the Webster dictionary will pick their word of the year. Here the dictionary makers are far too conservative to recognize any word that hasn't been in use for fifty years.
Yeah, I think that is right.
