In this modern day and age, new slang words and fun expressions come and go at a rapid pace. Getting one to actually stick is no easy task, but if anyone could manage it, it’s Oprah!

Her show might be over, but her legacy lives on. Her expression “aha moment” has been officially added to the Merriam-Webster dictionary. They’ve defined it as: “a moment of sudden realization, inspiration, insight, recognition, or comprehension.” Sounds about right to us!

Another expression that has been added to the dictionary: “bucket list”. We’re actually sort of surprised that this is a new addition because people have been using this expression for years and it has origins in the early 21st century! There was even a movie named after it! Merriam-Webster’s definition for bucket list is: “a list of things that one has not done before, but wants to do before dying.”

What do you think of the new additions?
