Macquarie Dictionary
@MacqDictionary
The Macquarie Dictionary is the most up-to-date Australian dictionary and thesaurus. Our comprehensive coverage means you’ll find the right word every time.
For only the third time, the People’s Choice is the same as the Committee’s Choice, with enshittification also winning People's Choice Word of the Year! Just nudging out brainrot for the win, Honourable Mention also goes to social battery.
Last month we covered some pretty heavy topics so this month we’re talking about some of the more lighthearted concepts that have lexicalised over the last few years.
