listicle
n.— «I’ve decided to default to one of the magazine world’s last great lame clichés—lists. Lists as articles. Listicles. (I feel dirty even saying it.) Consider this my homage to sappy service journalism.» —“The Daily Listicle: Corn, Castro & Che” by Elizabeth Spiers Gawker (New York City) July 31, 2003. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
