Political analysts who have been struggling for a word to define the leadership crisis in the UK can use 'Permacrisis'.
The word has been picked by Collins Dictionary in the UK as its "Word of the Year" for 2022 on Tuesday.
Permacrisis is about never-ending crises like the Covid-19 pandemic alongside climate change and the chaotic political situation like the one in the UK.
Collins Learning managing director Alex Beecroft said that the word sums up succinctly just how truly awful 2022 has been for many people.
The deepening crisis in the UK has recently seen three prime ministers quitting in quick succession.
Also, every one of them since the 2016 Brexit vote had to resign.
The runners-up for the "Word of the Year" included "partygate", which came into use after Prime Minister Boris Johnson was accused of partying during covid restrictions.
"sportswashing," which means using sports by a government or an organization to distract its poor human rights records, was another contender for the contest.
Saudi Arabia's Golf tournaments or World Cup in Qatar could help better explain the word.
Another word to be shortlisted was "Carolean," which is an adjective to describe the era between Queen Elizabeth II death and King Charles II ascension.
The next contender could explain better the real-life situation of many amongst us: "quiet quitting".
