Ruth Ibegbuna (@MsIbegbuna) December 15, 2017

Grathwohl claims that usage of the term, coined in 1965, soared fivefold in 2017 when compared with the previous year.

Its rising profile followed the United Kingdoms general election in June, he said, when younger voters were credited with helping Prime Minister Theresa May lose her Conservative Partys majority in the House of Commons.

Grathwohl also had this to say about youthquakes ultimate selection for the accolade:

Sometimes you pick a word as the Word of the Year because you recognize that it has arrived, but other times you pick one that is knocking at the door and you want to help usher it in.

Other terms that made the final shortlist included antifa, broflake, gorpcore, kompromat, milkshake duck, newsjacking, unicorn and white fragility.
