Every year new words enter our vocabulary, gain speed when using them and then stop using them. A few years later, we even wonder what we meant by them. This year, for example, lexicographers in the Oxford English Dictionary chose “wax” as the word for 2021, short for “vaccine”. They noted that the use of the word has increased 72 times in various combinations.
European officials also have their own jargon, often incomprehensible to people, commented Politico. It is hoped that one day words like “Coreper” Committee of Permanent Representatives of the EU – the main decision-making body in the European Council – B.R.) , “Stability Pact” or “Subsidiarity” the principle that European rules do not apply if their actions are not more effective than national ones. for areas of exclusive EU competence – will enter a living life outside Brussels
But what could be the new words in the vocabulary of the coolest Eurocrats this year? With a great deal of humor, Politico offers some of them.
Pangela
This describes the feeling of the absence of German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Here is an example of the use of the sentence: “The EU is in crisis and I feel the pange of attacks.”
Super scary event
Panel discussion between experts in Brussels on a technical issue. Measures to avoid a super scary event include social distance, turning off Zoom and other communication channels, and uninstalling social networking apps. Particular attention should be paid to proposals containing the words “moderator”, “trust” or “taxonomy”.
The new form of justice in Poland. The accused is facing a panel of three independent judges – an expert appointed by the Law and Justice Party, a Minister of the Government of Law and Justice and Jaroslav Kaczynski (leader of the Law and Justice Party). In this way, it is ensured that there is no interference of any party in the process, except from “Law and Justice”. But that may be a good thing, because her name contains the words “law” and “justice.”
Rololz
A joke at the expense of the EC, which is trying to get Poland and Hungary to pay attention to the rule of law – a core value of the EU. Here is how it sounds in the sentence: “Did you hear von der Layen’s speech? Full rololz!”.
SchLepen
The new center of power in the EU – the union of Olaf Scholz and Marin Le Pen, but will be used only if the French nationalist wins the presidential election in the country, which will be held in May.
In addition to the French presidential election, another term is being formed – condescending explanation . It will be used to cite obvious clichés to explain the chances of re-electing the French president, especially those containing references to Napoleon or Charles de Gaulle.
Squid game
This is the negotiation process for the annual EU fishing quotas.
Fucus
A surprising new alliance between France, Britain (UK) and the United States (US) or, in short, what the French expect the British and Americans to try to do with their foreign policy.
