In 2020, "iso" took out first place, with "bubble" following close behind. On the Centre's website, Senior Researcher Mark Gywnn explains that "iso" was selected not only for its flexibility, merrily combining with other words to create new compound words (for instance "being in iso", doing "iso baking" and putting on "iso weight"), but also because it "stood out asa characteristically Aussie abbreviation" (Australian National Dictionary Centre). | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | M/C Journal, 24(1), p. 1-10 | Publisher: | Queensland University of Technology, Creative Industries Faculty | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 1441-2616 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2020: | 470107 Media studies 470101 Communication studies 470214 Screen and media culture |
