Collins Dictionary is the first to make a "Word of the Year" pick for 2020, and they chose . . . "lockdown."

They say the use of the word "lockdown" across websites, books, and news is up 6,000% from last year, which makes a lot of sense.

Some of their runners-up for Word of the Year are:  BLM . . . coronavirus . . . furlough . . . self-isolate . . . and social distancing.
