Explanation

Bovvered was named the 2006 Word of the Year by the Oxford English Dictionary, representing a colloquial British pronunciation of 'bothered' popularized by Catherine Tate's comedy character. It captured the zeitgeist of British youth culture that year. Chav and biosecurity are unrelated terms, while teleconference is too formal to be a word of the year.
