Last night, Oxford Dictionaries announced its Word of the Year\u2014vape<\/em>\u2014and it was hard not to feel, at first, a twinge of disappointment. After all, 2013\u2019s Word of the Year was selfie<\/em>, which was so ubiquitous, so contentious, so undeniably germane to our times, that think pieces are still being written about it a year later<\/a>. Selfie<\/em> was a gift from the lexical gods, a soft disyllable that contained within it the whole winding story of our evolving relationship with technology. Choosing it was almost an act of synecdoche: it stood for a massive and increasingly vexed conversation about our lives online.<\/p>\n

But our neology isn\u2019t always so supple; Oxford Dictionaries is on the lookout for words that \u201creflect the ethos, mood, or preoccupations of that particular year,\u201d and not every year delivers a pluperfect sign of the times. You play the hand you\u2019re dealt. And 2014 has dealt us a lot of duds\u2014slacktivism<\/em>, budtender<\/em>, bae<\/em>, and normcore<\/em> were on the shortlist this year, all clever and evocative as far as they go, but none of them with that era-encapsulating magic.<\/p>\n

And none of them with the guarantee of longevity. I asked Allison Wright, an editor at Oxford University Press, what she and her colleagues look for in the Word of the Year, and she emphasized the importance of finding a word that isn\u2019t \u201ca flash in the pan.\u201d Hence, she said, the ultimate appeal of vape<\/em>\u2014(v.) inhale and exhale the vapor produced by an electronic cigarette or similar device; (n.) an electronic cigarette or similar device; an act of inhaling and exhaling the vapor produced by an electronic cigarette or similar device\u2014which promises to be around for a little while. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s generating a new and more productive vocabulary,\u201d Allison told me. I hadn\u2019t been sold on vape<\/em> until I considered the ramifications of this vocabulary, around which an entire subculture has risen. Oxford\u2019s announcement calls out\u00a0vape pen<\/em>,\u00a0vaporium<\/em>, and most notably the retronym tobacco cigarette<\/em>, which signals vape<\/em>\u2019s influence: what would\u2019ve been laughably redundant in the twentieth century is now a necessary distinction.<\/p>\n

I remember the first time I encountered an e-cigarette, probably five or six years ago, in my early twenties\u2014not a time when you want to sense that the world\u2019s moving too fast for you. That\u2019s how I felt, though: Here was this sleek black cylinder with a blue light that throbbed when I inhaled from it. You could charge it with your computer. You could buy it from a kiosk in the mall, and yet I had no idea how it worked. Here was a harbinger of my obsolescence: I could see how in a few decades\u2019 time the latest technology would overshadow my abilities to grasp it. I would grow old in the eclipse, ceasing to live in the present. Also, the spearmint flavor was really good.<\/p>\n

And the need for the word\u2014what Oxford refers to as \u201ca gap in the lexicon\u201d\u2014was certainly there. I can recall a brief period in which people spoke of e-cigging and e-smokers, but these words always came tissue-wrapped in scare quotes, a shroud of irony marking their uncertainty. What we were reaching for, and soon found, was vape<\/em>, a handsome abbreviation of vaporize<\/em>. As a derivative of vapor<\/em>, it\u2019s a spin-off of a kind of heritage brand. For a word that just means \u201ca substance diffused in air,\u201d vapor<\/em> has taken on a rich figurative life over the years\u2014you can get the vapors, you can be vapid, and (best but most rare of all) you can vapor on and on\u2014\u201cto indulge in bragging, blustering, or idle talk,\u201d as Merriam-Webster defines vapor the verb, with a perfect example: \u201ca faded Southern belle tiresomely vaporing<\/em> about all the handsome beaux she had in her long-ago youth.\u201d So v<\/em>ape<\/em> partakes of a long history of things turning mysteriously or irksomely into air; it won\u2019t be long until someone puts it to apt figurative use.<\/p>\n

Selfie<\/em> asked us to accept what was, for some, a hard truth: that we live in an age when we really like to photograph ourselves, mainly because we\u2019re better equipped than ever to do so. Vape<\/em> is similarly pitched between hedonism and futurism. It celebrates something humans have always excelled at, which is finding new and novel ways to get buzzed. If neither of these words makes a rah-rah case for our enlightenment, so what? Where conservative critics see a culture dedicated to narcissism and addicted to nicotine, I see a bunch of people trying to have a good time\u2014and a pair of words taking a small stand against propriety.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
