    Mine is "Fungible."

    As in non-fungible token.

    Officially the word of the year for 2021 is "Vax", but for me it's been a "Vag" of a year.

    What did the papers keep calling what Matt Hancock and his bit on the side were doing?

    Was it in an ‘embrace’ or a ‘tryst’ or something?

    Yes, but it has practical uses for other stuff as well.

    Gathering (n): Definition - 'not a party'.

    Synonyms: 'Business meeting', 'Cheese and wine'.

    Example: '"There was no gathering at no.10 and if there was, it was socially distanced. Honest. Ooo look at that thing over there.' (points and runs away).

    I take my word from our very own Big Ben.

    BALLING

    I have no idea of what it means (bar a possible sexual pun) - I am guessing it means amazing.

    Woman on Twitter wrote that she needn’t have given birth without her partner present last year after all. He could simply have had brought some cheese and wine with him, a laptop and they could have called it a ‘business meeting’.

    Strictly speaking, no. NFTs allow you to digitally prove ownership over something, anything.

    While some people are using them to sell digital art, that's just a single fringe usecase.

    Confusing, your favourite word of the year was one you barely heard?

    This genuinely isn't aimed as an insult at you but this word is used almost exclusively by middle class white people trying be funny and a bit wacky. It's awful and makes my toes curl.

    Not a word but a phrase, this had somehow passed me by since the pandemic started, but popped into a pub the other day and they said, sorry, we aren’t currently offering ‘vertical drinking’.
