.NBCNewsTHINK: Coronavirus has changed our lives, and our vocabulary needs to change with it.
Rachel Greenblatt, freelance writer, and Jonathan Krieger, humor writer
Words reflect our environment, so it's no surprise that a host of new phrases have recently emerged to capture the events of 2020. From"case fatality rate" to"viral load," the terms are often so horrible they can make you nostalgic for the past decade, when the most upsetting terms we coined were"twerking" and"dad bod."
But while we've found plenty of ways to describe the big stuff, we could use a few more words to detail everyday life during a pandemic, like the experience of spending an entire Zoom call checking out your co-worker’s interior design or the haircut your friend got that clearly wasn't done by a professional.
