So…words. There used to be a time when only “the best words” (copyright, Donald Trump) got into an actual dictionary. Times have changed, though. And based on the list of words added to Dictionary.com, there isn’t exactly much difference these days between an actual dictionary and Urban Dictionary. This year, Dictionary.com added 300 words. Below are 27 of them. Each makes me puke in my mouth a little more than the next.
Here are the lowlights:
- 420
- alt-right
- bitchface
- cat café
- cheat day
- clicktivist
- cold brew
- dabbing
- dad bod
- friendiversary
- hangry
- K-pop
- Kush
- lightsaber
- man bun
- mic drop
- petrichor
- sext
- slay
- smackdown
- stochastic terrorism
- struggle bus
- superfood
- teachable moment
- uncanny valley
Fuck everything.
