1946: Litterbug
If you were born in 1946, then you were born when "litterbug" was added to the dictionary. Of course, we all know what a litterbug is. It's a common word even today. Did you know it's been around that long?
Some credit the New York Subway system with coining this slang term. It sounds a lot like jitterbug, which was popular in the 1930s. Maybe that helped inspire someone to create the term litterbug. While we can't know for sure, it seems possible. Don't you think?
