2016’s word of the year was “Fuuuuuuuuuuck.”
2016年的年度热词是“Fuuuuuuuuuuck”（我勒个擦/妈了个鸡/卧槽……自行翻译吧……）。

To rub salt in the gaping wound that is 2016, Oxford Dictionary chose “post-truth” as their word of the year, narrowly beating out “alt-right”, while selected “xenophobia” as theirs.
2016是在开裂的伤口搓盐的一年，牛津词典选了“后真相”作为年度词汇，紧随其后的是“另类右翼”， 而Dictionary网选择了“憎恶外国人”作为其年度词儿。

Those are real. Those are based on millions of searches on their respective sites.
这些词汇都真是存在着，根据不同网站数百万搜索得来的。

What is meant to be taken as satire is actually closer to the truth than novelty. Would I have chosen “fuuuuuuuuuuck?”
