Not every word gets the crown, but some almost make it! On today’s Breakfast Bites, we celebrate the underdogs of 2025’s Words of the Year. From Cambridge’s “Vibey,” to the TikTok-inspired gems like “Roman Empire,” we explore the playful, weird, and wonderfully telling words that didn’t quite take the top spot.
