"Tweeps", "photobombing" "lifecasted", "Wikipedian", "ethical hacker", "douche", "vajazzling", "Totes", "ridic", and "lolz" have been added to the Oxford Dictionaries Online.
The Internet-based brother to the Oxford English Dictionary released its latest batch of new words. Also included are "dogfooding" (the act of testing your own software) and "inboxing" (sending any sort of private message) as verbs.
UX, UI and NFC are all Oxford-approved.
Other phrases that made the cut include "group hug," "guilty pleasure" and "soul patch".
"OH" made the cut as an acronym for "other half".
The most ridiculous new word can actually be traced back to the 1920s. It's "mwahahaha."
