'Maxxing' selected as Dictionary.com word of the year

Americans have gone all in on "maxxing", making it the 2026 Word of the Year for Dictionary.com.

It's a major departure from two years ago, when the site, after analysing US social media trends, news stories, and search data, chose "demure" as word of the year. Last year's was "67". "Maxxing is the linguistic manifestation of a culture increasingly preoccupied with getting the most out of everything," said Steve Johnson, director of lexicography for the Dictionary Media Group.
