2018 Oxford word of the year.

"Toxic."

There. I did what Daily Wire's Joseph Curl cannot bring himself to do; just say the word.

Annoyingly, he plays around by giving the Oxford definitions of the word. Then he gives the Urban Dictionary's definition of the word. Then he talks about liberals and media hating Trump. Then he finally tells the word this year is "toxic."

*Pepé Le Pew voice* It is the little boy in him, no? He likes to play the game of hide-and-seek, the amorous titillating game of chase.

More at Daily Wire including the expansion of the word toxic to describe relationships at work, in marriages, and elsewhere, and the words that "toxic" beat, "gas-lighting", and "orbiting."

Comments are fun. They refer to Britany Spears' charted song with the title "Toxic." Some think "resist" is a better choice. Other reader's choices are covfefe, Arkancide, invasion, Waaaaaaah, illiterate (based on the title of the article, s/b Old English Dictionary, boofing, decorum (based on Tump using it so much as if he had just learned a new word), dog whistle, tantrum.
