FEATURED NEOLOGISM:
One of them is Geobragging (Geotagging). These words indicate repeated status updates on social media ( Facebook, Instagram..) in an attempt to get more public attention or even make other people jealous. Besides English, I have heard some of my students using Geotagging (გეოტაგინგი) in Georgian. At the moment, I believe it is a barbarism in Georgian and I am interested in finding how its fate develops.
