Loved that some students and I spent a good hour today talking about our favorite #books and #movies.
These are the moments I love being a #professor and getting to know my students beyond the classroom.

@bodhipaksa I'm getting multiple people telling me they don't know "goblin mode." I agree with you that "quiet quitting" and "Wordle" were huge. I haven't heard "warm bank."

@mrthomasadunn Hashtags have been candidates for WOTY in the past.
I love tracking all the various dictionaries' candidates and winners and usually do a round-up podcast in January.
I think about doing my own every year, but I never seem to get around to it. Maybe I'll rally this year, but with the deadlines I'm looking at, probably not.
