Our beloved book of the English word just made room for 400 new additions.
Some of the words chosen to reside among ‘reciprocity’ and ‘tenacious’ are:
Noob — That’s the noob at work. Nobody really knows what his story is.
Woot — I defeated the dark prince! w00t!
Sexting — Didn’t that Dateline guy get caught sexting?
Retweet — LOLz! I’m gonna retweet this cuz it’s sooo funny!
Mankini –If you’ve got it, flaunt it in that mankini!
The Oxford English Dictionary has also written new meanings for the words ‘follower’ and ‘friend.’
We’re sure you already know what those are, and if you don’t, there’s no more excuses! Get with it!
What do U think of the new additions?
