SNP’s word of the day: Precariat
Illustration by Lewis Mirrett Word: Precariat
Meaning: An emergent social class defined by job insecurity and short-term thinking; semi-synonymous with the freelance economy.
Usage: “Although the experience is different across economic and social situations, we are, at least the 99 per cent of us, the new precariat class. We are frantically digging to keep the tunnel from caving in—digging for air, not treasure.” — Jenna Brager in “No Resolution”
