The following month, the 50 Shades of Grey book series was published, bringing a new name for a certain type of erotic fiction - ''mummy porn'' - into the public consciousness.

The UK's extraordinary summer of events is celebrated with two words on the 2017 list.

''Jubilympics'' recalls the month of June, in which Britain was preparing to host the London Olympics and celebrate the Diamond Jubilee while ''Games makers'', London's vast team of Olympics volunteers, make it on to the list for August.

American politics, showbiz and events also shaped a number of the dictionary's chosen dozen.

During the Oscars in February, actress Angelina Jolie posed with her right leg jutting out of her high-slit dress, spawning the word ''legbomb'' and leading to many parody images being created.

In May, Facebook launched its initial public offering and its share price plummeted almost immediately after hitting the public market.

The event led to the word ''zuckered'', named after the social networking site's founder Mark Zuckerberg.

When US presidential candidate Mitt Romney travelled to London in July, his critics branded the visit a ''Romneyshambles'', a word which also makes it on to the list.

Romney's secretly-taped comment that 47% of Americans would vote for Obama no matter what because they are dependent on the government meant that ''47 per cent'' became a key phrase of the election and enters the dictionary list for September.
