Among these contemporary terms, we can cite “tiktok” designating a person broadcasting their own videos on TikTok, “climaticide” which, through its massive CO2 emissions, contributes to global warming, or even “chip” which were added along with words like “decolonialism” or “descend”which are symbols of current identity reflections.
