New words have been added to the English Langauage Photo: Oxford Dictionaries
C’mon! Showing some side boobs doesn’t make you cray. After all, YOLO!
The words, Side boob, Cray, YOLO have now become English words following the announcement made recently by Oxford Dictionaries on their website.
Pundits say the latest intake is a reflection of how social media languages and slangs are affecting the English Language.
Some of the words include, humblebrag which refers to a comment made by someone who boasts about an achievement in the same sentence as a self depreciating comment, adorbs, an adjective for something cute or adorable and YOLO which is an acronym for You Only Live Once.
Others are listicle, bro hug, cray, hench, hot mess, mansplain, side-eye, side boob and spit-take.
The new entries mentioned above have however only been added to OxfordDictionaries.com, not the Oxford English Dictionary.
