This is fun. It's interesting how many words we now use frequently weren't even around before I was born. :) Happy Saturday.

Yeah, every year can't be a winner

CJ Kennedy said...

And to see how many words aren't that old

Isn't it fun? One of the things I loved to do as a kid was to read the dictionary

I looked up Selfie because I remembered when it became word of the year in 2013. However, I had NO idea it had been around since 2002!!

CJ Kennedy said...

No, I haven't read that. I did watch a movie, "The Professor and the Mad Man" (2019) with Mel Gibson and Sean Penn that dramatized Prof. James Murray's work compiling the first OED

My friend, Teague, invented the selfie. She was taking pictures of the two of us at arm's length back in the 1970s.
