Merriam-Webster’s Time Traveler has created a website where you can select your birth year from the drop-down menu, which will give you a list of words that were presumably used for the first time in print that year.

These words were first used in print in the year when I was born:

• body piercing
• butterfly effect
• couch potato
• cosmic background radiation
• digital camera
• dream catcher
• Ebola virus
• endorphin
• exit poll
• meme
• pooper-scooper
• video card
• wannabe
• white zinfandel

Epic collection, eh?
