The Cambridge Dictionary has accepted 6,000 new words into its English language canon this year – including slang inspired by social media discourse.
Delulu, tradwife, broligarcy, and lewk, have all been added because experts believe the words will not be just a fad, but will have linguistic staying power. Skibidi is also there amongst them.

Pish. Some of those are already in the, "Nobody says that anymore but you, Mama," category.
Exactly.
Linguists attempting to be faddish.
Broligarcy, or broligarchy?
I say to the Cambridge dictionary and their 6,000 new words….. ‘23 SKIDOO’!
Six thousand new words in a year?
Uhh... that’s gotta be a two-zero typo, at least.
English is ever so surely becoming the discombobulated “language” that Alex and his droogs spoke in A Clockwork Orange.
6,000? I say Bosh! Havers! Balderdash!
Or the kids in Road Warrior.
Perfect! Everyone, including whackjob lyin’lizzie warren, in Cambridge (MA) is a lefty and therefore, DELULU!
“””I say to the Cambridge dictionary and their 6,000 new words….. ‘23 SKIDOO’!””
That’s so tubular, dude.
6,000? They added a “Jive Section.”
Stick with Latin.
None of this is relevant. We still fo not communicate with one another. No cap.
And some people can’t use the English words that been around for years. Visit the inner cities for instance.
No kidding! Today's youth use only one word or a derivative of that word in the place of all adjectives, and adverbs.
Maybe, like me, they feel cool using words that the youth have already discarded in favor of new ones.
“Delulu” is type of portmanteau word, composed of and evoking “delusional” and “lulu.” It is clever and useful word, as it implies belief in a real lulu (or whopper) of a delusion. I like it.
Using new words is pretty groovy if you ask me.
Now that’s a real corker.
Isn't that the name of a song.
