C’mon! Showing some side boobs doesn’t make you cray. After all, YOLO! The words, Side boob, Cray, YOLO have now become English words following the announcement made recently by Oxford Dictionaries on their website.

Pundits say the latest intake is a reflection of how social media languages and slangs are affecting the English Language. Some of the words include, humblebrag which refers to a comment made by someone who boasts about an achievement in the same sentence as a self depreciating comment, adorbs, an adjective for something cute or adorable and YOLO which is an acronym for You Only Live Once.

Others are listicle, bro hug, cray, hench, hot mess, mansplain, side-eye, side boob and spit-take. The new entries mentioned above have however only been added to OxfordDictionaries.com, not the Oxford English Dictionary.

I'm on fp again this week..................




























































i dedicate this plots of land to my nairaland crush.........

MODS THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN ON FRONTPAGE CONTAINING MORE NEW WORDS THAN THOSE STATED IN THIS THREAD.

So

ayukdaboss:

Olosho and Kundus should be included too

If "Twerking" could find its way to Oxford English Dictionary then I don't see any big deal to these ones. Buh get to think of it,English is kinda hard


we'll begin with box,the plural is boxes,
But the plural of ox is oxen,not oxes
One fowl is goose,and two are called geese
Yet the plural of mouse is never called meese

You may find a lone mouse or a house full of mice;
but the plural of house is houses,not hice.
The plural of man is always men
But the plural of pan is never pen.

If I speak of a foot,and you show me two feet,
and I give you a book,would a pair be beek?
If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth
why shouldn't two booths be called beeth?

If the singular's this and the plural is these,
should the plural of kiss be ever called keese?

we speak of brother and also of brethren,
But though we say mother,we never say methren.
Then the masculine pronouns are he,his and him
But imagine the feminine ...........she,shis and shim.
