Word/phrase of the year 2020 edition
« on: June 18, 2020, 06:01:26 PM »
There are many words and phrases that we’ve heard over and over especially the few months. Off the top of my head I’d say “social distancing “ was a big one and of course “Covid-19” and there are many others. But the one phrase that has my vote is   MUTE YOUR PHONE!!!! And yes it has to be in all caps, cuz this phrase is only said while screaming on the top your your lungs.
What’s your word/phrase of the year?

Unprecedented

Quotes in a signature is annoying, as it comes across as an independent post.

Chin mask
Antibodies
IgG
Pandemic
Defund the police
Quarantine
Isolation
Risk factors
Spread
Asymptomatic
Ventilator
K95
Robinhoodies
There was an unadopted acronym for hygiene, masks, distancing and something else. Maybe if it took off it would be the word of the year.

Some combinations of the above work too, like asymptomatic spread
