Dictionary adds new words……. Makes me feel really out of touch and unhip.

Ever heard of the word “Zaddy”? It’s one of the 300 new words that Dictionary.com added to their list of real words being used now. “Zaddy” means an attractive man who is also stylish, charming, and confident. Apparently it was made popular by a rapper I’ve never heard of. They did add some that I have heard before. There’s “side hustle” which is a job that brings in extra money beyond one’s regular job. They added “long hauler”, a person who experiences long lasting Covid effects. There were some words that they added definitions to. For instance, “snack” went from being a small portion of food to adding the slang definitions a sexy person. Also, just in Australia, it’s also slang for something easily done. You can see their list of new entries at the website.
