Merriam-Webster dictionary added a bunch of interesting words like ‘stan,’ ‘salutogenesis,’ ‘buzzy,’ ‘gig economy,’ ‘qubit,’ and ‘garbage time.’
The dictionary added the new meaning for:
- old words, like “snowflake: Now used to mean both “someone regarded or treated as unique or special” and “someone who is overly sensitive,”
- compound words “page view: an instance of a user viewing an individual page on a website,”
- science and medicine “bioabsorbable: capable of being absorbed by living tissue,”
- business “gig economy: economic activity that involves the use of temporary or freelance workers to perform jobs typically in the service sector.”
Also, the best part about this update is a range of entertainment-related words:
- Buzzy: causing or characterized by a lot of speculative or excited talk or attention (that is, generating buzz).
- EGOT: An entry in the dictionary seems like an appropriate award for the acronym that stands for the rare achievement of winning an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony.
