The Cambridge Dictionary has added over 6,000 new words to reflect changes in language influenced by social media. Terms like 'skibidi,' related to a viral YouTube series, and 'tradwife,' referring to traditional wives active on social media, exemplify this evolution. Other notable terms include 'delulu,' a play on 'delusional,' and 'mouse jiggler,' indicative of remote work practices. New composite terms like 'broligarchy' merged distinct concepts to describe influential men in tech. These additions showcase the dynamic impact of internet culture on the English language.
Skibidi is defined in the dictionary as 'a word that can have different meanings such as 'cool' or 'bad' or can be used with no real meaning as a joke'. An example of its use is 'What the skibidi are you doing?'.
Tradwife is a shortening of 'traditional wife', a married mother who cooks, cleans and posts on social media.
Delulu is a play on the word 'delusional', defined as believing things that are not real or true, usually because you choose to.
Mouse jiggler, a device or software used to make it seem as though you are working when you are not, has been added due to an increase in remote working.
