According to the American Dialect Society, 2016 can be summed up with one term: “dumpster fire.”

The ADS’s phrase of the year is defined as “an exceedingly disastrous or chaotic situation.”

Many view it as a fitting descriptor for the year, which saw a heated presidential election, Brexit and countless celebrity deaths.

“As a metaphor for a situation that is out of control or poorly handled, dumpster fire came into prominence in 2016, very frequently in the context of the US presidential campaign,” the ADS said.
