Words we had never heard before 2020

[MagicSummer]

I was thinking of all the words which have become part of everyday language this year, which I for one would like never to hear again!

I will start:

Wuhan

Furlough

Zoom

Social distancing

R-rate

New meaning of bubbles

Social distancing

Covididiot.

Bubble

All of the above and 'self-isolate'. Before the pandemic it was just 'isolate' that I'd heard. Also 'bubble' as a verb.

Self isolation

PPE

Super-spreader

Alas

Masked.
Teams meeting.
Shielding.

'Next slide please'.

Masks need to be worn over your mouth and nose.

Self isolate
Social distancing.

For me at work.
" is the patient hot or cold"

Actually work is where it is most bizarre for me.

We have: hot resus, hot majors, hot minors and agp resus.
Along with the cold of all the above.
I feel like I'm in a twilight zone.

Not a new word but certainly the most over used word especially on MN in 2020 has been "selfish " sick of hearing it

What does it all mean @Carrotcakeforbreakfast?

I knew the word furlough but didn’t really know what it meant
Self isolation
The R number
Covid/Coronavirus
Social distancing
I went through some old work stuff when I was decamping to WFH and found some pens I’d picked up at a trade show from a little video conferencing company nobody had heard of called zoom!

Guarding

Driving 30 minutes to test your eye sight

Clothes shops non essential

Stop panic buying toilet roll

Mortgage holiday

I'd put in a vote for "unprecedented" as the most overused word of the year. As in "unprecedented times".

Oh and in also wouldn’t have been able to pick Matt Hancock out of a line up before.

@Underhisi

Alas

snort Well, it's word-count has certainly gone though the roof. Increased by multiple-thousandfold

School closure
Tier
Substantial meal

Mask compliant

Idiots flocking

Teens congregating

Stay safe (unless said to someone contemplating a Polar expedition)

Milk cubes
