Overused Word of the Year

An award for words that reach their peak in the linguistic zeitgeist

Words Have Lives, Too

This award is for words that, through no objective measure other than my own ears, seem to have reached their peak in common usage in the previous year. Phrases are not eligible, nor does this award concern itself with "new" words (e.g. "rizz") that dictionary publishers make a point of recognizing each year.
