2022-12-05 09:02:01 Merriam-Webster объявили слово 2022 года - Gaslighting
Merriam-Webster announced the word of the year - Gaslighting

The dictionary says: Gaslighting is “the act or practice of grossly misleading someone especially for one’s own advantage.” 2022 saw a 1740% increase in lookups for gaslighting, with high interest throughout the year.

Its origins are colorful: the term comes from the title of a 1938 play and the movie based on that play, the plot of which involves a man attempting to make his wife believe that she is going insane. His mysterious activities in the attic cause the house’s gas lights to dim, but he insists to his wife that the lights are not dimming and that she can’t trust her own perceptions.

Не самое позитивное слово в качестве итога года, но всегда полезно знать о существовании такого явления Открыть/Комментировать
