Five, different definitions. Only one refers to a single element “with a space on either side.” The author of the Doc accepts phrases. There was no rule limiting responses to a single word.

How does accepting two words for Word of the Year fit with the philosophy behind "kitchen window"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted January 9, 2022 Share #8 Posted January 9, 2022 Many libraries allow online access to a variety of periodicals, and some include the NY Times. My library has access to a number of newspapers, but not the Times,. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just spitballing… -crowdsourcing (and brainstorming) is messy -“word” also means “a script,” as a person would recite/perform -recognize arbitrary preferences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, for conversational purposes, "Word of the Year" is a single word per entry. If we want phrase or term or words or whatever of the year, then we ought to clearly state it at the start. In fact, that dopey post I had a couple days ago should have been the top banished terms of the year instead of banished words. Sure, terms are made up of words, but I think of it more as a "list of words" would be a word per entry in the list, and a list of terms or phrases would be a rage of single words or several words per entry.

A lot of people used more than one word in the comments section. It is a bit messy. And I have zero expectation the author will contact me for follow-up. The meaning and use of this phrase is still wide open. I’m in it for the year. It currently lives in Urban Dictionary, here, in three comments on NYT articles, and in the crowdsourced Doc.
