Dictionary.com has added more than 300 new words and definitions to its online database reflecting everything from news to pop culture, which brought these words out of the darkness of the struggle bus and into the victorious expression of dabbing.
“Once again, many new words came straight from the headlines, from Black Lives Matter and Burkini to alt-right and clicktivism,” Dictionary.com said in a statement.
“Some words like 420 and Kush reflect a broader acceptance of marijuana use and culture, as it’s becoming medically and recreationally legal across the country.”
Dictionary.com also included slang terms, including slay and smackdown. The updates come after Merriam-Webster added more than 1,000 new words to its dictionary in February.
