Slop: Merriam-Webster: – Digital content (often AI-generated) that is low-quality, absurd, or misleading, reflecting online annoyance with AI-produced junk.

Rage Bait: Oxford University Press: – Content designed to provoke anger for clicks, highlighting online polarization and engagement tactics.

Agentic: Dictionary.com – Describes AI acting autonomously, a shift from its traditional use for human agency, showing AI's increasing independence.

Parasocial: Cambridge Dictionary — reflecting one-sided online relationships with celebrities or influencers.

67 (pronounced six seven): Dictionary.com--meaning "so-so". “maybe this maybe that”, or just nonsense/uncertain, popular with Gen Alpha (including my grandchildren), often moving the hands up and down, palms up, as in weighing two objects.

Vibe Coding: Collins Dictionary — referring to using AI to turn natural language into code.
 

The only one I'd heard was 67 and everyone who's mentioned that it made word of the year wants to know the meaning. Now I know.
