The Word of the Year 2021 is… STROLLOUT! It means 'the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccination program in Australia, with reference to the perceived lack of speed' and is a humourous blend of 'stroll' and 'rollout'. More here https://t.co/1WgxvR0Jjf pic.twitter.com/fRwcYswwFh

Strollout is Macquarie dictionary’s 2021 word of the year, referring to the "perceived lack of speed" in Australia's vaccine rollout.

Not sure about "perceived". It was behind schedule and I don't recall anyone saying it was fast or on time. 💁🏻‍♂️#auspolhttps://t.co/nzhvXLBtc0

Strollout, Australia's word of the the year, is phonetically satisfying  — and very frustrating. A blend of rollout and stroll, the word refers to the "perceived lack of speed" in Australia's vaccine rollout over the past yearhttps://t.co/HBplFCqa3l

We came; we saw; we strolled out. After two hours of debate, we had a winner, the Macquarie Dictionary word of 2021. And for once, unlike cancel culture (2019) or fake news (2016), it was one word…
It wasn’t a race after all.#strollouthttps://t.co/flzbzcHCZ0
