Terminology - Oxford Dictionary WOTY 2024 - by popular vote

Copyright © Françoise Herrmann

And the winner is... brain rot! Shortlisted together with the terms dynamic pricing, demure, lore, slop and romantasy, the people have spoken.

As a reminder, the Oxford definition for brain rot is:  

Supposed deterioration of a person’s mental or intellectual state, especially as a result of overconsumption of material (now particularly online content) considered to be trivial or unchallenging. Also something characterized as leading to such deterioration.
