Not even a word, actually.

The Global Language Monitor, which manages language around the globe (obviously), tracked the most popular words used in daily parlance and conversation for their annual survey.

The most popular word of 2014 was... ♥.

No, we're not being cute or flirting with you - it's the heart emoji.

That's right, the most popular word of 2014 was a little picture of a heart. Christ.

According to their survey, the heart emoji was used in total of 373 MILLION tweets and topped their survey.
