There are only a couple of days left in 2016, which means your newsfeed is likely to be bursting with listicles about the best/worst moments of the year, the biggest news stories, the most popular TV shows, the best celebrity haircuts, etc. etc.
After all, looking back on a shocker of a year is still somehow more comforting than looking forward.
But perhaps our favourite recap of 2016 is happening right now on Twitter.
Collecting under the trending hashtag #2016infourwords, are thousands of pithy little posts condensing all 365 days or 8784 hours of The Year That Was into… well, yes, four words.
Eg.
Allow us to ride this final bandwagon of the year and suggest a few of our own, in non-chronological order:
