Cheugy, Glasgow and Eilish among words most mangled by newsreaders in 2021
How many on this list have you been butchering? “Cheugy” is apparently a lot to chew on, while the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Billie Eilish and Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce have something in common – broadcasters butcher their names. Virtually everyone, meanwhile, is having trouble with “Omicron”. CHEUGY (CHOO-GEE): A trendy term popularized by Gen Z and used to mock an outdated and unfashionable aesthetic typically associated with millennials, such as “Live, Laugh, Love” signs. DALGONA (TAL-GOH-NAH): A Korean treat made with melted sugar and baking soda, popularized in Netflix’s Squid Game. (Touma notes that some speakers seem to produce a “K” instead of the “G” in the middle syllable.) DOGECOIN (DOHJ-COIN): A divisive cryptocurrency that began somewhat ironically before being popularized by Elon Musk, causing its value to dramatically increase. EILISH (EYE-LISH): The singer Billie Eilish, whose album Happier Than Ever was released this year to critical acclaim and nominated for the Grammy Awards’ Album of the Year. ETHEREUM (IH-THEE-REE-UM): Another cryptocurrency that skyrocketed in value this year amid the decentralized-currency boom. GLASGOW (GLAHZ-GO): The host city of November’s United Nations Climate Conference was mispronounced by both President Joe Biden and former president Barack Obama. KELCE (KELS): The Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce revealed on radio this year that his teammates and the media had been mispronouncing his name for years. OMICRON (AH-MUH-KRAAN / OH-MEE-KRAAN): A new variant of Covid-19 first identified in November, named in keeping with the World Health Organization’s system of identifying variants with Greek letters. (Touma notes it’s pronounced differently in the US and the UK.) Continue reading...
