I chose the words LAGGY SIDE HUSTLE , and LEVEL UP because side hustle is a cool word and I want to get a side hustle for the money. In addition, level up is a good way is a that you have gotten better at a certain thing. Finally, I chose the word Laggy because its a popular online word whenever your internet is really slow or bad and its a good way to make people mad.

I chose the words Hoglet, Galentine's day, and Pumpkin spice. I chose Hoglet because I thought it sounded funny and weird so I wanted to see what it really meant. I chose Galentine's day second because if you replace the G with a V it would spell "Valentine's day" so I thought since it was with a G I thought it would be the opposite of valentine's day. For example, hate instead of love. I chose Pumpkin spice as my third word because it reminded me of fall/halloween season and I love when it's that time around. the sweet halloween/fall treats are the best.

I chose the words Cringe, Pumpkin Spice, and Sus. I chose Cringe because it's something I do a lot. I chose Pumpkin Spice because it's my most favorite flavor EVER. The Pumpkin Spice Lattes at Starbucks is so so good. And I chose sus because everyone used to say it so much when we played Among Us.

The words I chose was banh-mi, hoglet, and magnet fishing. I chose these because banh-mi sounds like food I really want to try. Hoglet I chose because I didn't know they didn't have a name for a baby hedgehog until now. Magnet fishing sounds like something I might want to try in the future because I've never done it and it sounds easier than actual fishing.

I chose these three words:

The first word I chose was the word 'Dumbphone', this word means sort of like a decoy phone that doesn't really have any important software, usually advanced software. I actually used to have one of these Dumbphones, so it was cool to see this word online. The second word I chose was the word 'Metaverse' this word means a persistent virtual environment that allows access to and interoperability of multiple individual virtual realities. I like this word because I spend a lot of time digitally and the word is pretty fun to say... It's like a big word. The last word is 'Laggy' I liked this word because when I am online I sometimes lag a bit, so now that this is a official word, I can use it.

I chose the words Dawn Chorus, Terraform, and Pumpkin Spice. Dawn Chorus refers to a selection of bird chirps that most commonly follows the sunrise, primarily during the warmer seasons. Terraform is a term commonly used to describe the manipulation and sometimes art of changing or modifying the land (also used in minecraft building terms). Pumpkin spice is a selection of spices commonly used in fall treats (pumpkin pie, squash, pumpkin latte, etc.) usually including cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. I picked these words because I like birds and have been researching them for ages, Pumpkin Pie is good and so are the flavors associated with it, and I was exposed to the word Terraform through minecraft.

The first word I choose is sus. During quarantine I had no way to interact with my friends. However with a new game release, I was able to play and talk with my friends. The second is false-positive. My brother got a false positive. At first it sacred everyone. Luckily we figured out it was false. The last word I choose is level up because I would always play games that require leveling up.

magnet fishing, free dive, cringe i chose these words because i find them all interesting. Magnet fishing is the sport or hobby of using a strong magnet attached to the end of a rope to find metal objects in bodies of water. Free dive is to swim beneath the surface of water especially at considerable depth without a portable breathing device and typically with a face mask and one or two flippers : to engage in free diving. Cringe so embarrassing, awkward, etc. as to cause one to cringe :

I chose the words terraform,side hustle, and level up. I chose the first word, terraform because of all the news of Elon Musk terraforming mars for humans to live there and I'm very interested on what will happen in the future. I chose the second word, side hustle because I thought it was already a word and i'm surprised it isn't because many people have a side hustle or a side job. Finally, my last word is level up because when someone says they leveled up or something it usually means they improved on something and improving is important.

The first word I choose is Metaverse because this word reminds me of a game that I play today using the word Metaverse. The second word I choose is Cringe because it made me curious that the dictionary adds a word I think is a kid's unnecessary bad word. The third word I choose is Yeet because I also think the word is not proper and used only for kids.

I chose the words Greenwash, booster dose, and Larp. I chose Greenwash because it means to make something more/less environmentally friendly, which has become a big topic in society today. I chose booster dose because a lot of people have been getting a booster dose for Covid-19. I chose Larp because I like to play role- playing games.

I chose the words Laggy, Side hustle and Terraform. I chose laggy because it happens to me often in school, to the point where my computer needs to load for half an hour. I chose side hustle because I believe that side hustles are great ways to make money, and a lot of people my age should make one. I chose terraform because I believe that it might be important in the future, as we may need to move.

The three words I chose are: cringe, level up, and oat milk. The reason I chose cringe is because I never knew that it wasn't a word, I feel like I hear it all the time. The second word I chose is level up because I've been hearing that for years and it's surprising that it's only becoming an official word in the dictionary this year. The last word I chose was oat milk simply because I really like oat milk.

The three words I chose are dawn chorus, gift economy, and sus. I chose dawn chorus because I love the sound of birds in the morning.

I chose the words greenwash, sponcon, and mud season. The word greenwash means to make a product seem environmentally friendly when it is not and I chose it because I keep hearing about companies that greenwash their products. In addition, I chose the word sponcon which is when an influencer makes a post that advertises a product but it dosent seem like a product is being advertised and I chose this because a lot of times I see videos in which the poster is showing clothing and saying how much they like it but it dosen't seem like an ad. Lastly, I chose the word mud season which is when it is really muddy outside and I chose this word because when I go to places outside the city, its sometimes really muddy and I've never been able to use a phrase that describes that.

The reason I chose my second word space force because it is a new military branch which is very cool. My last word is cringe and this word is cringe to even say.

I chose the words "sus", "pwn", and "dumbphone". I chose sus because I have been playing a game recently with my brother and cousins and the game basically made the word "sus". I chose pwn because I like to defeat people who I face in a game with my friend during lunch. I also chose the word level up because I have level up in games and I want to keep on doing it.

The three words I chose are pwn, banh mi, and false negative. Firstly, I chose pwn because it doesn't sound or look like a word to me, and it also weird because it doesn't have any vowels. In addition, I chose banh mi because it sounds kind of like 'ban me' which is funny to me, although I have terrible humor. Lastly, I chose false negative because it shows how much of an impact COVID - 19 has had on our society.

First, I chose video doorbell because when people have these installed in their houses, there usually comes funny encounters when viewing the footage. Second, I chose supply chain because many businesses have this, and they are very important to them and to normal people like us. Third, I chose laggy because being on the internet for a long time, many people have used this term a lot, whether when they are playing games or just having a normal conversation.
