However, “man cave” was cited as the most popular of all with 49 of 182 respondents (26.92%) saying they use it in their speech. Close behind was “bucket list” (45 of 182, 24.73%) and “F-bomb” (42 of 182, 23.08%). Other new words used by Merry Hucksters are “brain cramp” (26 of 182, 14.29%) and “aha moment” (20 of 182, 10.99%).
