New Words Added To The Dictionary
Either we're evolving...or just giving up. Oxford has just released new words that have been added to the dictionary this month. However, I think most of them are what could be considered, "buzzwords."
Here are just a few:
- Tweet
- Flashmob
- Geekery
- Slow Jam (Thank you, Jimmy Fallon!)
- Crowdsourcing
In addition to new words, Oxford also added new "sub-entries" and "new senses."
I feel like if you can get a word to trend on Twitter, you can get it in the dictionary. Speaking of that...I wonder if "facepalm" has been added.
