Australian’s have chosen the word ‘circle-jerk’ as in the collective noun for a group of journalists, ie a circle-jerk of journalists as their word of the year for 2023.

”It’s been a tough year this year to come up with the word of the year,” said word afficiendo Richard Tionary. ”A lot of places went with abbreviations or Tik-Tok slang.”

”However, the last week in Canberra was an excellent demonstration of a circle-jerk from the Australian media and that tipped it across the line.”

When asked what words we could expect to jump to the fore over the next year, Richard Tionary said: ”Well, with an American election on the horizon and an Australian one a lot of different terms for lying, fear and orange could be expected.”

Of course Peter Dutton will spend the year focusing in on immigration, so expect a few ethnic slurs to be thrown into the mix as well.”
