We are totally ‘humblebragging’ about the ‘listicle’ and don’t worry, we won’t ‘throw a shade’ at you or consider you a ‘weak-sauce’, or ‘boo-hoo’ at you in any manner if you don’t know many of these. Have no FOMO, we got this for you. The words which seeped into our daily lingo, all thanks to the Urban Dictionary, have found meaning in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary as well.
Merriam-Webster Dictionary added around 1000 words this year and we have compiled a list of 25 words and their meanings for you. Have a dekko.
