'Side-Eye' and 'Ghosting' Have Now Been Added To The Dictionary

New terms have been added to the dictionary.

The problem with language is that it's constantly in a state of flux: one decade ghosting means annoying your mortal enemies even in death, and the next it means you've clicked your fingers and maxed out from a relationship without a trace.

Well, one group of people who have to keep on top of all the colloquial phrases are theprofessional panel at the dictionary headquarters - who we like to think make presentations about whether or not certain words are good enough to be added to the list.

After some deliberation,the decision-makersat Merriam Webster have figured it's about time they added a bunch of new *happening* words to their publication.

Giving the seal of approval to some new terms,they've accepted'side-eye', 'binge-watch', and 'ghosting' as words that will now sit in the same book as 'oxymoron', 'paradox'and 'verisimilitude'.

Never give up on your dreams, guys.
