Surreal = 2016 Word of the Year [Hello, Saturn/Neptune Square!]

 

With the what-is-real/what-is-imaginative Saturn/Neptune Square coloring the kairos/zeitgeist last year, is it any surprise that "surreal" was voted the Word of the Year for 2016?

"Surreal is Merriam-Webster's Word of the Year because it was looked up significantly more frequently by users in 2016 than it was in previous years, and because there were multiple occasions on which this word was the one clearly driving people to their dictionary." - via Merriam-Webster website.
