On Monday, Cambridge Dictionary announced that over 6,000 new terms will be added to its pages. Many of these come straight out of the meme culture surrounding younger generations, especially Gen Z and Gen Alpha. Skibidi, a term popularized by the nonsense brainrot series Skibidi Toilet, is a clear standout due to its elusive nature.
Gen Z terms "tradwife" and "delulu" also made the cut (though they haven't made it past basic spell check yet).
Social media slang, such as 'skibidi', is influencing the English language, leading to over 6,000 new additions to the Cambridge Dictionary. These include terms like 'tradwife', 'delulu', and 'mouse jiggler'.
