This chapter explores the significance of a 'word of the year' and the criteria for nomination, including how the political climate shapes language choices. The speakers discuss nominees such as 'BRAT', 'theatrocracy', and 'cacostocracy', ultimately declaring 'cacostocracy' the word of the year due to its reflection of societal anxieties related to politics.
