For weeks, young Germans have been able to vote on which word best reflects their generation. The favourites are "Crashout", "Ragebait" and "Peak". Together, they attracted votes in the mid six-figure range. The poll was open to 11- to 20-year-olds.
On Saturday, Langenscheidt, the publishing house behind the vote, will announce this year's winning term at the Frankfurt Book Fair. These are the favourites.
