5 words from my birth year: This old Broadview has CHERRY-PICKED my favorites. As I passed my MID-LIFE CRISIS, I found my happy place with BEACH READS and SOFT ROCK. Oof! I am now WIPED OUT.

Heya Merriam, would you mind adding a bluesky +share button 🙏😎

Hurrah, dungeon crawler on finesteride.

My vibe: bitchin',happy camper, space force, loungewear, and self-definition. 🏕

So, I'd a been 11 in 1987. But come 1991 came one of the defining albums of my life, 30 Something, by Carter USM.

Some are harshing my vibe. 1959 … narcissistic personality disorder 🖕🖕 reverb 🎶⚡️😎 virtual memory ⚡️⚡️🤓 oral sex 😌💥🔥 nouvelle vague ⚡️🔥💥

Too much going on in 1994. Maybe I'm just a simple pole dancing, bootylicious, flesh-eating bacterium, girlboss doing the epley maneuver.

I don't like this game

not sure about this guys. e.g. your entry for "over the top" says first used in the sense of "flamboyant" in 1980 then immediately links to an article quoting it from 1945. "poutine" says first use in 1982, then further down the same page says 1980

I was really excited to have the same year as French fry and allosaurus and then I realized I had clicked on 1886 instead of 1986, which instead of allosauruses, features 4 different versions of HIV and the internet.

Hooboy 1978 was such a big year for psychiatric words that I had to double check that a new DSM didn’t drop that year. So without further ado… • Attention Deficit Disorder • Generalized Anxiety Disorder • Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor • logic bomb • trash talk

Your post literally did all the work for me. There was nothing else in 1987 that better describes me

Compared my birth year words to my daughters and there are significantly fewer words for the latter & now I’m wondering if this is symptomatic of the shrinking journalism situation (writers barely surviving without many side-gigs today)

Won't share the year but I'll share my favorite of the many words that were included in the list for it. Somewhat of a narrative for my life's journey TBH and I admit to owning them all. 😂 - cut to the chase - rock and roll - stress test - technophile - yin-yang symbol

My list included Provo, which was founded in 1849. I definitely was not born in 1849...

Whoa. 1954 has some odd words, like: antiozonant, brachytherapy, flexography, and refoulement. On the other hand, these could very well be said to describe my vibe: boonies, contrarian, luminism, schmoozy.

AIDS?!? AIDS GODDAMN IT?!? I'M AS OLD AS AIDS?

You could said "video game", "object-oriented", or "NSAID". I'd even have accepted "reverse engineer", "quality assurance", or "beefalo". But what was your *first* suggestion? "autoerotic asphyxiation" That... That's just... Why you gotta put me on blast like that, M-W?!

Those lists are full of head-scratchers. How was anyone using the word ‘trackball’ in 1967?

I was going to complain about "granny panties" and "man boobs," but I'll retract my complaint as that year also includes SSRI, and that is a very important thing to me. ...but anyway you can call me Granny Panties.
