Collins Dictionary has declared 'permacrisis' is the word of the year - and people did not hold back after hearing the news. Meaning "an extended period of instability and insecurity", many will agree the word is a fitting choice.
"It is one of several words Collins highlights that relate to ongoing crises the UK and the world have faced and continue to face, including political instability, the war in Ukraine, climate change, and the cost-of-living crisis," according to CollinsDictionary.com. But many have had mixed reactions to the news. On the one hand, people were left in stitches by the dictionary's scathing choice.
