Isreal’s main exports are cutting-edge technology found nowhere else in the world. Russia’s main export is oil. Western and European Union countries were fine getting their oil elsewhere, but they absolutely do not want to give up advanced tech.

I worked with a lady who did this all the time. She’d over hear words and just start using them at work and even with clients. She offered people “dime bags” assuming it meant “a small bag”. She heard someone call a charcuterie board a “coochie board” and thought it was cute so kept saying it. She called her husband “Big D” because his name starts with D and the default icon her phone gave him was a capital D and she thought it was a cute nickname.
Kikuri Hiroi from Bocchi the Rock. It’s an anime about a shy high school girl who learned to play guitar because she thought it would help her make friends but now she’s just shy and really good at guitar.

The company that maintains the list has added a lot more of these “not a real word but it scores high so we added it” words.
For some highlight words from the article: MIREPOIXS, HORSEFEATHERSES, SUBSPECIESES, GRATINEEED
Players are complaining that high level tournaments are basically going to be competitions for who knows the most gibberish from the tournament word list and it is alienating the general population from joining tournaments and scrabble clubs.
