Post-Truth

This year's international word of the year, as declared by Oxford Dictionaries is:

POST-TRUTH

 The University of Oxford Press reported that the adjectives usage began to "soar" after the "Brexit" vote and the highly charged, and equally controversial Presidential Election. 

Oxford Dictionaries says post-truth is thought to have been first used in 1992.

However, it says the frequency of its usage increased by 2,000% 

in 2016 compared with last year.

On the short list of words being considered was: 

"adulting" Often used in phrases such as

 "I'm adulting today, I'll play Pokemon tomorrow." 

"hygge" Which in the Danish culture refers to being comfortable or feeling contentment.

Oxford Dictionary list the definition as:

Relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief:

‘in this era of post-truth politics, it's easy to cherry-pick data and come to whatever conclusion you desire’

‘some commentators have observed that we are living in a post-truth age’
