Merriam-Webster Unveils New Dictionary Words
Merriam-Webster Inc. has added more than 100 new words. Is it acceptable to serve edamame to a dinner guest who's a pescatarian? Should you pour prosecco or soju for the winner of the Texas Hold 'em game you're planning near the infinity pool? And what's that wing nut in the corner saying about dirty bombs and nasty Noroviruses? These and about 100 other words that have taken root in the American lexicon — and the dictionary.
Prosecco sounds preferable to soju, but whacking the pescatarian over the head with a bottle of either of them sounds most enjoyable.
