The word 'pandemic' has dominated nearly every corner of the world since March. Now, two dictionaries have named it Word of the Year.

You've probably heard the word near-daily since March. It's dominated nearly every corner of the world since. And there's no better word to sum up the unbelievable year that was 2020.

"Pandemic" is the Word of the Year for both Merriam-Webster and Dictionary.com. It informed top searches on both sites and reshaped the language we use daily, both companies said. Merriam-Webster, the dictionary publisher, said people looked up"pandemic" with"remarkable frequency" throughout the year -- particularly on March 11, when the World Health Organization officially declared Covid-19 a pandemic.

Well it is all you idiots talk about. Somebody could drop a nuclear bomb on Los Angeles and all you would talk about is the scamdemic. The average American doesn’t care about the bullshit virus.

Hopefully, 2021 will give us positive & cheerful words of the year :(

Why is the focus on the use of the word “pandemic” instead of more focus on the lack of peer review of these vaccines that people are going to have in less than a month? Where’s the investigative journalism?

plandemic. fixed it for ya

When we take a look at who benefited from covid, the lefties & CCP would be on top. Covid really changed the US & world politics. The Democrats and their MSM (NYT, WaPo, CNN,) lackeys took this once in a century opportunity to take down Trump. The virus was made in a CCP lab.

It’s a New Cuss word! Damn it!

It's also been named a scam-demic, because the corona is a scam.
