Which is the same year Random House published Hunter Thompson’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
Headline: New York Times, 1/18/2026
Tim Arango reports:
The estrangement deepened with time, and now, Anita’s suspicions have taken the feud to a more pointed place, revealing a long, bitter fight over the legacy of the man who pioneered the personal, participatory style of reporting known as gonzo journalism.
Merriam-Webster defines 'gonzo' as of, relating to, or being a style of journalism marked by a lack of objectivity due to the writer's immersion in the subject and often participation in the activity being documented. [first known use explained]
Other coinages from the same year include:
- bizarro
- crapshoot
- psych-out
- rest area
- spit take
- wise ass
