Sooooo... the American Dialect Society's Word of the Year is "-ussy", and I am personally thanked in their primary scholarly reference for "-ussification", a paper called "A corpus study of phonological factors in novel English blends."

The announcement: americandialect.org/2022-word-

The paper (PDF): cla-acl.ca/pdfs/actes-2018/Dow

And my citation attached ehehehehe
