Collins Dictionary has chosen “vibe coding” as its 2025 Word of the Year. Vibe coding describes a new, more relaxed way of programming ? where you tell an AI what you want in simple, everyday language and have it write the computer code for you. Some experts see this new method as an exciting step forward, while others worry it is reckless.
Other shortlisted words include “aura farming” (trying to look cool and confident on purpose), “biohacking” (changing your body to be healthier), “broligarchy” (a small group of powerful men), and “clanker” (a not-so-nice word for robots or AI). Collins bases its selections on usage frequency and cultural significance. Last year’s winner was “brat.”
