Buzzwords that appeared in 2014:

In 2014 we took being 'square-eyed' to a whole new level, gorging ourselves silly on consecutive episodes of our favourite programmes by binge-watching or chainwatching our way through the weekends. And it seems that one screen alone is no longer enough, as we increasingly engage in stacking, using a multitude of hand-held devices to browse the web or grab a social media fix whilst watching the TV. We could even combine the two, and throw out snippets of criticism or praise for a programme by live-tweeting or media meshing during the broadcast. If reading was more our thing, then the year introduced us to a new genre of crime fiction in chick noir, where classic 'chick' themes of love and romance are displaced by murder and deception. Such dark themes were prevalent on screen too, with a preponderance of dramas correspondingly dubbed Nordic noir (the Scandinavian variant) or Celtic noir (set in Ireland or the far reaches of Scotland or Wales). If you're more a sport than a literature fan, then 2014 was the year in which kabaddi made its international debut, introducing the western world to a cross between wrestling and playground tag. Music lovers were also introduced to the novelty genre of chap hop, where rap meets upper class stereotypes, though this was unlikely to be the soundtrack to twerking, an eyebrow-raising dance technique receiving disproportionat e media attention. And for those of us who enjoy the great outdoors, 2014 gave us the comforting concept of the tech crèche, a place to deposit our beloved smartphones whilst enjoying an encounter with nature without the nagging intrusion of the electronic universe.
