“#’Zaddy’ among more than 300 words added to Dictionary.com<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Before, the sentence \u201cZac Efron is such a zaddy\u201d would be grammatically incorrect. Now, it\u2019s not.<\/p>\n

Dictionary.com added more than 300 new words<\/a> as 2020 reshaped and expanded our vocabulary. The extensive list included the term \u201czaddy,\u201d which refers to an attractive man<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Amongst the newly added slang is \u201coof,\u201d synonymous with \u201cyikes,\u201d and \u201cs\u2013tshow,\u201d honorably mentioned for People\u2019s Choice 2020 Word of the Year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe latest update to our dictionary continues to mirror the world around us,\u201d John Kelly, the managing editor for Dictionary.com, said in a press release<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s a complicated and challenging society we live in, and language changes to help us grapp<\/a>le with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDeplatform<\/a>,\u201d most commonly used in social media<\/a> settings, was also added. It\u2019s now defined as prohibiting people from sharing personal views publicly online for fear of being canceled.<\/p>\n

In the digital terminology category, \u201ctrigger warning<\/a>,\u201d abbreviated to \u201cTW,\u201d and \u201ccontent warning<\/a>,\u201d abbreviated to \u201cCW,\u201d were also added.<\/p>\n

COVID-19 also added words to our everyday lexicon that we would have never used otherwise.<\/p>\n

\u201cLong COVID<\/a>,\u201d referring to lasting side effects of coronavirus infection, is now a dictionary-approved term. \u201cSynchronous<\/a>\u201d and \u201casynchronous<\/a>,\u201d describing the way students around the globe adapted to learning through a screen, made the cut, too.<\/p>\n

The pandemic wasn\u2019t the only world-altering event that introduced new vocabulary. Black Lives Matter protests following the murder of George Floyd introduced everyone to a slew of terms as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cMinoritize<\/a>,\u201d not to be confused with \u201cmarginalize<\/a>,\u201d and \u201cDEI<\/a>,\u201d meaning \u201cdiversity, equity and inclusion,\u201d are also amongst the new entries.<\/p>\n

But not all the definitions were serious, noted Kelly in the press release, adding that the fun terms elicited laughs throughout a uniquely difficult year.<\/p>\n

\u201cPerhaps these lighter slang and pop culture newcomers to our dictionary reflect another important aspect of our time \u2014 a cautious optimism and a brighter mood about the future ahead after a trying 2020,\u201d he said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
