Just because it's the word of the year this year doesn't mean people
will remember what it means even after a few years. "Rawdog" was the
OED word of the year in 2024 ... that's losing its resonance and who of
the under 30 crowd knows what the 2000 word of the year "chad" means?
The point of the formulation I proposed (without mentioning slop) was
to be generic and retain its meaning over time.

James
