Yes, "twerk" is now recognized as a word, and there's more!

Words that are in the dictionary now!

As you’ve probably noticed by now, the “Oxford English Dictionary” has its finger on the pulse of new vocabulary. They’ve added words in the past like “swag” and even “YOLO” to reflect new ways of speaking and trendy topics. Here are some of the recent additions that you wouldn’t believe made the cut:

 

  • Adorbs
  • Selfie
  • Yas
  • Fuhgeddaboudit
  • Vom
  • Gaydar
  • Emoji
  • Bestie
  • Twerk
  • Vlog

 

And that’s just the beginning! Also on the list is “glamping,” “hangry,” and “binge-watch.” Some of the additions are kind of silly – but others are probably here to stay in our vocabulary for years to come. You can check out the entire list HERE.
