We're not ones to judge anyone for using words like YOLO, FML, or SMH. Wait, are those actual words? Now they are, according to the Oxford Online Dictionary, which added a slew of new entries [1] to its website. (In case you didn't know, they mean "You Only Live Once," "F*ck My Life," and "Shaking My Head," respectively.)
They're just a couple of the many slang and Internet phrases that made the cut — including adorbs, binge-watch, cray, humblebrag, listicle, and clickbait. Techies will appreciate additions like responsive, fast follower, geocache, smartwatch, and tech-savvy.
ICYMI ("In Case You Missed It," another addition), here's how entries get added: "New words, senses, and phrases are added to OxfordDictionaries.com once editors have gathered enough independent evidence from a range of sources to be confident that they have widespread currency in English," explained a blog on OxfordDictionaries.com [2].
We're taking bets on how long it will take for emoji to take the place of words. Wait, that's already happened [3].
WDYT ("What Do You Think")? Yep, that's another new addition.
