[Sparky Lurker]

Big dick energy is 3 words though.

 

[YourMommasBackstory]

Oh yessss

 

[Rand /pol/]

Why am I so toxic

Spoiler

[dysentery]

Overtourism

Oh yes, the word that doesn't even have an easily visible definition when you look it up on Google. Who chose these?

 

[Clop]

#MeToo was named a "scientific breakthrough"

This is it. 2019 is the year the world ends. Calling it now.

 

[Sofonda Cox]

If this is the cost for this incredible timeline, I gladly pay.

 

[Buster O'Keefe]

I thought it was going to be troon tbh

 

[skiddlez]

When I read the runners up I actually thought it was a joke. I clicked the link. I was sadly wrong, they're serious.

 

[AnOminous]

This is why the Oxford English Dictionary dies with the Second Edition.

Fuck "Tumblr Meme: the Dictionary" and the SJW cancer that has destroyed yet another institution.

The Night of the Rope can't come soon enough.

 

[Next Task]

I was surprised.

I was expecting it to be #metoo.

None of those candidates are any good, though. And what the hell is cakeism?

 

[ES 148]

Poor Gammon is the only real word there

 

[KE 521]

Gammon is Sammy(f)’s favorite insult

I too thought these had to be a joke. Big Dick Energy?! I mean really

 

[Snuckening]

juicy

 

[SakuraRose]

Would've guessed it to be either "problematic", "cuck", or "Nazi", given two minutes browsing on Twatter.

Bloody kids on my Internet with their popular words.

 

[registereduser]

I was expecting "resist" or "resistance." Though, maybe that was a previous year's word, idk.

 

[MuuMuu Bunnylips]

Did somebody call?

 

[dunbrine47]

Go TM06 and congrats on your badly poisoned win.

 

[FeverGlitch]

 

[Salubrious]

I was expecting "resist" or "resistance." Though, maybe that was a previous year's word, idk.

Should have been tranquilo.

Then again, that might be the exact opposite of toxic.
