Macquarie Dictionary names enshittification Word of the Year as readers suggest new terms

The Macquarie Dictionary has named "enshittification" as its Word of the Year. In response, readers suggest new words for next year, including "Lexifabrication," which refers to using obscure language to seem relevant. Readers also share thoughts on political jargon. One notes the phrase "if I'm honest" often precedes untruths, while another suggests updating song lyrics to reflect political themes. A humorous anecdote features a boy confusing Shakespeare with Dickens, claiming he plays the character who stabs Julius Caesar. This highlights the mix-up in classic literature among younger generations.
