This 21st century just keeps getting very interesting with the additions of slangs as words into the dictionary. First it was the word 'Bootilicious" used to describe American singer,Beyonce and then 'Selfie".
Britain’s Oxford University Press
has now approved more words for the Oxford Dictionaries after deeming them worthy
of a dictionary entry.
A few of the words include side boob, hot
mess, YOLO, throw shade, live-tweet, adorbs, amazeballs, bro hug, cray, hate
watch, ICYMI, tech-savvy, time-poor and SMH.
Editor at Oxford Dictionaries, Katherine
Martin, said these are words that are common enough that you are likely to encounter
them, and may have to look up their meanings.
However,for now these words have been added only to the
online edition and not the hard copy of the dictionary as words added to published dictionaries require more historical and significant impact before they can be added.
