Oct. 29 (UPI) -- Generation Alpha's perhaps meaningless slang term "6-7" has been declared word of the year for 2025 by Dictionary.com, beating out words including "aura farming," "broligarchy," "tradwife" and the dynamite emoji.
"Each year, Dictionary.com's Word of the Year and short-listed nominees capture pivotal moments in language and culture," Dictionary.com said in a news release Wednesday.
"These words serve as a linguistic time capsule, reflecting social trends and global events that defined the year."
The reference site said that, in determining the word of year, its lexicographers analyzed data including news headlines, social media trends and search engine results. Still, even Dictionary.com said it isn't sure what it means.
