“S” that came in our life last decade
When it comes to S it becomes plural. I mean there are so many word(s) that entered our lives with just the letter S. So let’s check a few of them-
“Selfie”
Definition: a photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically one taken with a smartphone or webcam and shared via social media.
Skype
Introduced: June 2014
Oxford dictionary definition: Have a spoken conversation with (someone) over the Internet using the software application Skype, typically also viewing by webcam.
Snowflake
The most popular Urban Dictionary definition for snowflake tells us exactly where it came from and what it’s supposed to mean:
“A term for someone that thinks they are unique and special, but really are not.”
Salty
Now coming over to gadget Gyan-
The Self-Driving Car
SELFIE STICK (2014)

“Selfie” was Oxford Dictionaries’ 2013 Word of the Year, and shortly after came the boom of the selfie stick. Useful for taking wide-angle shots without having to give your phone to someone else, the selfie stick became popular with vloggers and tourists alike. In New York City, the most visited city in America, you couldn’t walk through Times Square without having to dodge oblivious tourists’ floating phones. But by 2015, careless injuries and even deaths while using selfie sticks caused their ban at some museums, music festivals, and Disney World. The selfie stick trend has waned since then, and with increasingly wide-angle smartphone cameras, it’s probably a gadget that’s best left in the past. —Adia Watts

My theme for A2Z-2020 is peeping into new words and gadgets/ apps that time traveled in our lives in the last decade
and became part of our lives beyond separation now.
Wanna peep into my 2019 S Tiffin post for tiffin treats…
Selfie is probably the word of the decade. It has become such an important part of our lives. Well done on the choice of words.
Thanks, Sonia yes selfie is the word, and thanks for stopping by.
Selfie rules our lives now. My father and husband think they have ruined people. I have seen people standing on the middle of the highway taking selfies. All these words are a part of our language and life now. Thanks for compiling
Yayyy…finally. I know all the words in this post. My daughter introduced me to the word Salty.
I found the choice of words very interesting. Selfie is the soul of today’s era. Very true. Stan is the word which I didn’t know.
Selfies have started dominating our lives and consciousness! Can’t believe the word was only introduced this decade!
Wow so many words…I knew all of them except for salty…and who doesn’t love selfies and sales! 😁😜
wow amazing list of words, and luckily I had heard all before except stan..this is the new learning for the day. thanks a lot dear for increasing my knowledge.
I felt nice after reading this post as I knew all the words except Stan. Excellent choice of words.
That’s really interesting… it seems The S has taken back all the old words and gave a new life to them. Some I heard and some are new for me, thanks for teaching them.
