Slay, dabbing, and dad bod: New words added to Dictionary.com

Dictionary.com added more than 300 new words to the online dictionary Thursday, finally giving legitimacy to the practice of sending racy text messages or "sexts" and cat cafes.

The list of new words includes alt-right, a white nationalist movement, hangry, or becoming angry when hungry and smackdown a severe rebuke or criticism.

The addition of the new words stem from recent trends that Dictionary.com lexicographers found in pop culture, politics, marijuana use and food and fitness.

“Our users turn to us to define the words they see, hear, and read—and in today’s highly politicized world, we play a necessary role in helping users dissect the meaning of words heard in this period of political discourse,” said Liz McMillan, CEO of Dictionary.com. “But not all new words spark controversy; words are often poetic and uplifting. For instance, our users have often asked why petrichor isn’t in the dictionary, and today they can look it up and get an official definition for the distinctive aroma you smell after it rains.”
