Language shapes what we notice, remember, and act on. The words and phrases that break through, from the funny to the “cringey” to the profound, become true language moments. They jump out, capture our imagination, and change the way we talk and think about people, issues, and events. In 2025, they spanned politics, business, tech, and culture. From the “Golden Age of America” and “MAHA” to “AI slop,” “job hugging,” and who can forget “Labubu”… our annual video compilation highlights the language moments that defined the year. It’s fast-paced, punchy, and packed with the year’s most memorable phrases. Enjoy the video and share it with your friends and colleagues!

Then hop over to our HearSay page to listen to our companion podcast. It’s a fun conversation and a deeper dive into why these moments stuck, and what they signal for communicators in 2026. As always, we’re tuned into language: how it evolves, how it impacts people, events, and the world… and how it shapes or changes perceptions. When you need YOUR language to work harder to make your audiences listen, care, and act, remember us. We would love to help make your language matter more in 2026 and the years to come.
