The Oxford English Dictionary is forever growing with the English language and in an attempt to keep up with the changing idioms, a whole bunch of new words have been officially added to the dictionary.

Among the words are “selfie,” “squee” and “jorts,” but other surprising words also made the cut. For example, “srsly” which is short of “seriously” is now an official word as well as “FOMO” which stands for “fear of missing out.”

Other terms that made the cut include “derp,” “phablet” which is a smartphone with a screen that is as big as a tablet, “emoji” and “fauxhawk.” Even terms like “girl crush” and “food baby” are now recognized!

Which word do you think should make it into the dictionary?
