It discusses how the 1930s saw the invention of new words to describe concepts like hyperinflation and Hoovervilles that emerged during the Great Depression. Additionally, it notes how World War II led to many new military terms being coined, especially from the German language, and that 60 million people died during World War II leaving the world in need of repair.

words stayed.
