Somehow 'woke' and 'lit' got beat out. So now that 2016 is over and we can look forward to 2017 we still have some awards to apparently to give out.

That's right 'dumpster fire' is official word of 2016. It was apparently due to the toxic political season, tragic shootings and the giant amount of high-profile celebrity deaths.

I understand, but I had a pretty good 2016 personally. There were some definite lows in our nation. Do you agree with the 2016 word of the year?
