Brain rot has become the Oxford University dictionary word of the year.

Losing your mind looking at memes? The dictionary has a word for that. The popularity of the word is a “symptom of the time we’re living in”, psychologist and Oxford University Professor Andrew Przybylski said. It is a term that captures concerns about the impact of consuming excessive amounts of low-quality online content, especially on social media. @BBCNews #BrainRot #Memes #Scrolling #SocialMedia Subscribe and ???? to the BBC ???? https://bit.ly/BBCYouTubeSub Watch the BBC first on iPlayer ???? https://bbc.in/iPlayer-Home All our TV channels and S4C are available to watch live through BBC iPlayer, although some programmes may not be available to stream online due to rights.
