What do Eastwooding, Mother Flame, and Gangnam Style have in common? They are all new words to have taken hold in the English language in 2012. The Wordability blog has been tracking key new words throughout the year and its author Hugh Westbrook has now collated this material into one volume. So read about the top neologisms of the year and discover others you may never have heard, such as Ineptocracy, Papple, Lesula, Goalgasm, and Swapportunity. What emerges is not only a portrait of the English language as it stands at the end of 2012 but also a picture of the key issues which have dominated society throughout the year.
