- July 21, 2016
People (including me) who survive through the aid of online dictionaries will be glaaad to know that just a day or two back, dictionary.com added over 300 new words to its database.
These include words like Hijra, manspread, al desko, ghosting, mom jeans, NBD, panromantic… okay well, I guess if I go on I’ll end up narrating all of the additions.
But, tbh, the fact is I did get selective in stating instances of the addition – stating those which interested me the most.
Want to have a look at some meanings? Scroll on, my friends!
al desko: eating at one’s desk in an office.
*I al desko All. The. Time.*
free-range parenting: a style of child rearing in which parents allow their children to move about without constant adult supervision, aimed at instilling independence and self-reliance.
*This one’s pretty cool!*
ghosting: the practice of suddenly ending all contact with a person without explanation, especially in a romantic relationship.
hijra: a person whose gender identity is neither male nor female, typically a person who was born male and dresses as a woman.
manspread: to sit with one’s legs far apart, taking up too much space on a seat shared with other people.
mom jeans: unstylish women’s jeans.
*I’m not very happy with this coinage. Grrrr!*
NBD: acronym for no big deal.
panromantic: noting or relating to a person who is romantically attracted to people of all sexual orientations and gender identities.
presstitute: a journalist or media source whose news coverage is considered to be inappropriately influenced by business interests, political motives, etc.
totes: totally.
*Call me old-fashioned, but I’d still say totally over totes. Totally cringing right now!*
Because you’ve endured the entire list of my favorites, I bless you with the magical prowess to never forget these. Go flaunt some cool lingo, my friends!
