2018 has been one toxic year.。
You know it, we know it, and the Oxford Dictionary knows it. The prestigious publisher has chosen their Word of the Year, and this time, it's "toxic." 。

But it's not just looked up alone. Over the last year these ten habitually associated words, or collocates, were the most looked up:。
Chemical。
Masculinity。
Substance。
Gas。
Environment。
Relationship 。
Culture 。
Waste。
Algae 。
Air 。 Toxic masculinity stands out, right? It's the second most associated word people have looked up in the dictionary online. It makes sense considering the last 12 months, with the #MeToo and Time's Up movements championing the abolition of toxic masculinity, and toxic relationships (number six on the list). 。Toxic chemical, however, is the most looked up. Oxford suggests this could be due to news stories of the last 12 months involving these, like the nerve agent poisoning of a former Russian intelligence officer and his daughter, and global concern over the world’s toxic chemical stockpiles. 。 Toxic environment could mean multiple things, from recent shifts in attitude toward harassment in the workplace to recent reports of extreme air pollution in India. The same goes for toxic culture, which could relate to workplace unrest akin to Google's mass walkouts. 。So, you've made it this far, you must want to know where the word "toxic" comes from?
