Words of the year from Twitter, 2017

twitter words

Three bots have been collecting words from Twitter for the past year.

 

Short version:

In 2017, people on Twitter talked about the words broflake, caucacity, cockwomble, covfefe, dotard, douchecanoe, dracarys, shitgibbon, shooketh, twatwaffle, and woke. 

 

Long version:

They've looked for certain sentences and extracted the X.

Combining and comparing the logs of all three, let's see the top words of 2017. Bold means a word wasn't in that chart in 2016.
