Curious to see the era of my birth so clearly reflected in the language. Among the first words listed are acidhead, Afrocentric and babywipe. Yup, I was born in the 60s!

Even more curious are words that were recent additions to the dictionary (so must have been commonly used) yet are already obsolete:

computernik: a computer enthusiast or expert

abscisic acid, affinity chromatographyAlt key, application programming interface - oooh. techy

Im not convinced by this, how can “Capitol Hill” and “southern” only have appeared in 1935 (my grandma’s birth year)?

This one is insane. I have ADHD! And I was born in 1978!

Anime
Elephant in the room
Latte
Paleo diet
Sexual predator
Tankini

Most of these sound more current than my birth!

Wafflestomper confused (a type of walking boot, apparently),

There’s another meaning too. 😬

Euro and NIMBY 1980

Apparently ‘recovering’ and ‘ganache’ only appeared in 1977???

Interesting, some no surprise.

When peering into my newborn cradle back in 1964 and wondering what I was going to grow up to be, I’m pleased that my parents had “dolly bird” and “ninja” added to the list of options!

Anatolian shepherd - obviously 🤷🏼‍♀️

1977
