Every year Oxford Dictionaries come up with a word that serves to sum up the entire year, and this year's word seems about right.

Other words that almost took the title?

binge-watch, verb:

bitcoin, noun:

schmeat, noun, informal:
a form of meat  produced synthetically from biological tissue. [ORIGIN early 21st century: perhaps from SYNTHETIC and MEAT, influenced by the use of ‘- -, schm - -’ as a disparaging or dismissive exclamation (e.g. fancy schmancy: ‘some of the gourmet sauces you get in fancy schmancy places are just too spicy for me’).]

showrooming, noun:

and of course...

twerk, verb:
