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...
