10:25 am

MollyL

The 2024 banished words and phrases list. hack, impact, at the end of the day, rizz, slay, iconic, cringe-worthy, obsessed, side hustle, wait for it.

grammar and language is ever evolving and it's on an even faster pace now with globalism. Isn't it fantastic to see it change so quickly within our own lifespan? We're all here because we're word nerds
