Word of the year 2021

The Oxford English Dictionary has announced its word of the year for 2021:-

Vax

A new 3-letter-word for Scrabble players!  A shame they didn't make it Vaxx - double x would be worth a lot of points.

For some reason, double-vaxxed, unvaxxed and anti-vaxxer have also increased in use over the past 12 months.

I don't say I am double-vaxxed, I tell people I am double-chipped, just to see the look on their faces. :smiley:
