Second place went to Zollhammer (tariff hammer) and third place to Chlorhuhn – a term to describe chlorine-treated chicken meat, used in reference to United States agricultural methods that do not meet Swiss regulations.

Linguists have selected these terms based on a collection of text data, as the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) wrote in a press release on Tuesday. The selected words were used significantly more often this year than before, are new or have taken on a new meaning.

The term Frauen-Nati often made the headlines this summer during the European Football Championship in Switzerland. Zollhammer refers to the 39% tariff originally imposed by US President Donald Trump, but which has since shrunk to a 15%.

Chlorhuhn, which is to be imported duty-free under the new agreement, falls into the same category.

In French-speaking Switzerland, on the other hand, the word Génocide (genocid) was selected. In Italian-speaking Switzerland, the term Dazi (customs duties) won and in the Romansh-speaking part of the country, IA (the abbreviation for artificial intelligence) landed in first place.
