Language constantly evolves

A while ago I received a flyer in the mail, emblazoned with the words 'Calling All Recessionistas' at the top. I'd never heard of the word 'recessionista' but it did sound like 'fashionista'. A quick google search solved the mystery:

(first let's look at 'fashionista') "This is a gently sarcastic term for a person who is an enthusiast for fashion. It covers not only the dedicated followers of fashion who wear the clothes, but also those who write about them. And it can refer to those who design, make, model and publicise clothes, and the fashion buyers whose decisions determine the success of a collection...
...It’s formed from fashion by adding the suffix -ista from Spanish, equivalent to our -ist ending..." This explanation is from www.worldwidewords.org, the link is provided below:

'Recessionista' has been formed in the same way, and wiktionary.org provides a concise definition:

"recessionista (plural recessionistas)

A person who is able to stick to a tight budget while still managing to dress stylishly."

It's nice (and perhaps a little alarming) to think of languages as constantly evolving entities...many would say one must change with the times to remain relevant. Others however might feel that we should resist the urge to change or add to a language because then it wouldn't be 'pure' anymore...

Did you know that languages can become extinct if no one uses them anymore? Do a google search for 'extinct languages'. In fact, there's even a difference between a 'dead' and an 'extinct' language! Wikipedia has quite an extensive article on the subject, as well as a list of extinct languages.

So, besides 'recessionista', what other words that you've heard of do you suspect have only been created recently? List your suspects by replying to this post. Have fun exploring the wacky world of words!
