    BA's contribution to the new words being added is obvious to those who read and post on the forums. WBAYDN posts have helped popularize "beer o'clock". That and "bruh". Plenty of fur baby photos there, too.
    How many have McGyvered a bottle open this year? How many gotten hangry when a pizza, burger, or sandwhich was unavailable after a few brews?

    Seriously though, what terms in beer nerdom are destined for becoming mainstream?

    Reading the trading forum apparently the word 'Hops' seems to have replaced the name of the IPA/DIPA style. For example, ISO: NE Hops.

    I'm pretty sheltered living out here in God's Country. I hear the term "Butt Hurt" was introduced this year & I'm sure this site is the place where I first read that term. Most likely in reference to a trade gone bad, or something of that ilk...

    Butt hurt is quite old and not from here.

    I figured New Englanders would recognize an attempt at subtle humor, but perhaps not:grinning:

    I would agree strongly with:
    Neck beard
    Shelf turd
    This (would love to see how they would lay out a new definition for it)

    Muleing (muling?)

    Edit* I know this in use as a description of how drugs are carried into the country, but if the term is co-op'd by the beer world, when drug dealers realize that they are being compared to an activity orchestrated by snarky ass hat neck beards, those drug dealers may actually be shamed out of muleing (muling?). So in effect, by popularizing the beer end of it we could do a real service to the world.

    Remind me not to read the dictionary any more. These words do not belong in any dictionary and neither did the word ginormous.

    Maybe not in the dictionary, but definitely in the thesaurus as a synonym under the related entries of "hoppy" or "hopsolescent" (thanks Stephen Rannazzisi!) or "India Pale Ale:"

    "Cat piss"

    I'm just glad we can't be blamed for "manspreading"...all sort of horrible thoughts came to mind when I heard that "word".

    Language evolves. You use words today that were added to the dictionary at some point in time. The crochety old people denounced thier addition then too.
