Words that entered the dictionary the year you were born

OMG 1962 saw some awesome words get added!!!
in the category of WTH?!?!

  • AK-47
  • body count(see above perhaps?)
  • bio-weapon
  • porn
in the category of This is better!
  • Belgium waffles
  • cockamamie
  • sitcom
 


I think the words that were added in 1960 were a fore-shadowing of me working for a phone company.
Dial-up
Touch Tone
Teleprocessing.

Good Words:
Doofus - me to a tee
Theme Park - appropriate for this board
Golden Oldie
Kook - same - me to a tee
 


1976 saw such gems as anti-arrhythmia, arborio rice, athleisure and battered woman sydrome :oops:
1962 saw the addition of battered child syndrome, 14 years till we admitted women were being hit as well 😕

I got lost down the rabbit hole of looking at years that held other significant importance to me - the year I entered high school, year I met hubby, year we married and when each of our children were born. THAT was fun!!
 
1973 - Soccer mom (heh), caipirinha (could use one of those), super-spreader (topical), performance-enhancing drug (still a thing)
