Presidential candidate Donald Trump came in at #82, while &#8220;running for president&#8221; came in at #84, referring to the withdrawal of candidates Chris Christie and Carly Fiorina from the race after <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/usa-election-idUSKCN0VI0XG\">disappointing results<\/a> in New Hampshire. &#8220;Politics&#8221; came in at #91.<\/p>\n<p>Big gainers this year are &#8220;indifference,&#8221; at #51, and &#8220;being petty&#8221; at #59. The former follows Pope Francis&#8217;s Lent message <a href=\"http:\/\/time.com\/3714056\/pope-francis-lent-2015-fasting\/\">from last year<\/a>, which a few media outlets picked up this year.<\/p>\n<p>The total number of tweets, around 200,000 (with the 60,000 non-retweets specifically mentioning giving up something serving as the basis for this analysis), dropped in half from last year&#8217;s total. I don&#8217;t know whether people are using Twitter less or if Twitter is throttling the data available in their API. Either way, much less data is available this year than last.<\/p>\n<table class=\"data\">\n<tr>\n<th>Rank<\/th>\n<th>Word<\/th>\n<th>Count<\/th>\n<th>Change from last year\u2019s
