New Words Added to the Cambridge Dictionary

  • More than 6000 new words have been added to the Cambridge Dictionary.
  • The terms "skibidi", "tradwife", and "delulu" have become popular in social media.
  • Included are terms related to remote work and climate change.

This year, thousands of new words have been added to the Cambridge Dictionary, including terms popular in social media, such as "skibidi", "tradwife", and "delulu". In total, more than 6000 new terms will be added, reflecting contemporary life, including "mouse jiggler" for remote work and "forever chemical", which highlights climate change issues.

The term "skibidi" has received recognition as a word that can have different meanings, such as "cool" or "bad", or it can be used without a real meaning, like "lit". This term has become popular due to the viral animated video "Skibidi Toilet" on YouTube.

"Tradwife", which means traditional wife, has also gained popularity in the digital world. The dictionary defines it as a woman who engages in domestic chores and raises children, particularly in social media contexts.

The other term "delulu", short for "delusional", refers to believing in things that are not real or true, usually based on one's choices. The Cambridge Dictionary only adds those words that, in their opinion, remain relevant.

In addition to the new terms, the dictionary has also included new compound words, such as "broligarchy", which refers to a small group of individuals who own a technological business and have political influence. Other new terms include "work spouse", which denotes a relationship at work where two people support and trust each other.
