The poet Derek Walcott once remarked, "The English language is nobody's special property. It is the property of the imagination: It is the property of the language itself." Oct. 16 is Dictionary Day, a day to reflect on the importance the institution of the dictionary plays in recording how we use the English language. To celebrate, Stacker grabbed a handful of newly minted words from the years they were coined, from 1920 to 2020. Their definitions come fromMerriam-Webster Time Traveler site, except for the years 2012-13 and 2017-18. Year after year, new words are coined as time, technology, world events, and fashions dictate—but fads are fickle. If the public interest wanes for a particular trend, or world events are relegated to a foggy past, many associated words will be lost and forgotten. Still, others remain as mainstays to our evolving language and how we use or misuse it. Every three months, the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) evaluates the vernacular, adding new words, tenses, and subentries to the language that the dictionary's lexicographers deem essential. Words hold a fascination for all, from what they convey to the feelings and thoughts they evoke. Some may jog memories of incidents or events long past, while others forgotten throughout the years may be wholly new to some. When used correctly, a single word can slice through emotionally fraught situations. Or, when used incorrectly or at the wrong moment, that same word can supercharge an interaction, turning a mundane conversation into a conflagration of sentiment. Read on for the words—and the events that may have triggered them—that reached popularity the year you were born.

Sales of board games and puzzles have skyrocketed amid the pandemic, demonstrating the demand for family-friendly activities while homebound. Even with the popularity of video games in the past several decades, board games maintain a strong presence in the games market: In 2017, the global board game market was worth an estimated $7.2 billion. Research before the outbreak of COVID-19 indicated the market will be valued at $12 billion by 2023—a number almost certain to climb amidst the pandemic. The internet has made it easier than ever to not only find new, creative board games but to find communities and individuals with whom to play those games. Mainstays like Monopoly, Sorry!, and Life have stood the test of time, while new ones for virtually every niche are created every year. Now is the perfect time to revisit your old collection of classic board games, or perhaps to introduce new ones into your rotation. With that in mind, Stacker compiled a list of some of the most popular board games, arranging them chronologically from 1930 to 2019 by the year in which they were introduced. The years 1931, 1933, 1944, 1945, and 1946 are excluded as they did not have popular board games introduced during those years. Read on for some ideas and inspiration of which games to play with your extended time at home with family.
