A decade of neologisms

Here's a selection of The Guardian's favorite neologisms of the last 10 years.

These words and expressions were all coined in particular parts of the world in specific years: they're principally slang and jargon; catching on, but still waiting to be formalized into our dictionaries.

My favorite from the list is:

1.  generica: features of the American landscape (strip malls, motel chains, prefab housing) that are exactly the same no matter where one is

I may use this word in a future...
