Bundes­präsidenten­stichwahl­wiederholungs­verschiebung was chosen as Austria's Word of the Year 2016 by academics. Roughly translated to “Federal-President-runoff-vote-repeat-postponement”, the word gained recognition during the lengthy presidential election in 2016. The Runners-Up "Bundesheinzi", which is a combination of "Bundespräsident" (president) and the passing president Heinz Fischer's first name, and "arschknapp" ("damn" close) were also heavily influenced by Austrian politics in 2016.
