The Hardest Words To Pronounce In 2021

We spoke a lot of words last year, fortunately we can stop now. No more words, shhh. Just actions. Below are the words broadcasters stumbled over the most according to Babbel and the US Captioning Company

Omicron
Omicron is the sequel to Covid-19 nobody asked for. Worst sequel ever, boo. Personally, I say “omnicron” cause it sounds cooler, but everyone has their own take on it. There are almost as many ways to say it as there are varients diverging.

Cheugy
Someone who’s uncool in the most normal way possible. Originating on Tik Tok, the word was already past its best before date by the time anybody outside the app was saying it.

Dalgona
Korean Honeycomb snacks became a hot topic for a minute after Squid Game’s release, with plenty of people trying to carve shapes out of it with a needle. Of course people tried saying the word. Of course, we literally all failed. Except our Korean readers, you guys nailed it.

Eilish
Apparently this was the year that old people started talking about Billy Eilish and failing miserably.

Dogecoin
Elon has been flirting with the meme crypto-coin’s price for a while, sending its value in all directions. Pronounced DOHJ-Coin, I might just start calling it DoggyCoin just out of spite.
