You forced me to pick "slop" as my Merriam-Webster Word of the Year, which means the summarized search history of this proud nation collectively included seriously Googling "shrimp Jesus," "Pope Trump," and "Coco-Coola." Has linguistics become a laughingstock, or has the country crumbled into satire? I cannot take it anymore: I've begun to sob, wail, whimper, and caterwaul.
