There were a few other tech-focused contenders for the top spot at Collins this year. The dictionary considered “deinfluencing,” which refers to the act of warning social media followers to avoid certain products or choices. There was also “ULEZ,” an acronym for an “ultra-low emission zone” or an area in which only low-emission vehicles don’t have to pay a fee or toll to enter.
