A total of 1,700 words have been added to the pages of Merriam-Webster, including jeggings, NSFW, and photobomb, and with it comes the downfall of human literacy. LOL!
While we can kind of stomach jeggings only because they’re the closest thing to yoga pants we’ll see outside of the gym, the 15 words below we just can’t take. Which would you add?
Twerk
You having a seizure is nothing to celebrate.
Felicia
Why “Bye Felicia?” I’ve met way worse girls that weren’t named Felicia. Like most Brittanys, Katelynns, Tabithas, Jennifers, Samanthas… The list goes on.
Bae
What if there was no one else? What if there was only your mother and that crumpled-up magazine under your bed? It’s creepy and it’s too easily confused with a large body of water.
On Fleek
We have no idea what this even means, but we do know that we hate it.
Thot
We love women, so this speaks for itself.
Yas
You can only say this when screaming while pantomiming your emotions, which is way too much effort.
Selfie
Not only is this one of the most overused words in the world, but it’s also the most annoying. Put down your phone, you look like an a**hole.
Turnt
TURNT UP IN DA CLUUUBBBBB, no.
Literally
You don’t use it properly, so kindly shut the f*ck up.
YOLO
Just stop, you sound like an idiot. Especially when used alongside something that’s not YOLO-worthy, like skipping dinner at your parents’ house or getting a tattoo. Everyone has the exact same dream catcher tat on their calf, so relax.
Amaze Balls
Are you a 14-year-old boy? If so, write it down in your journal, then burn it.
Cray
See “YOLO” description.
Insta
Gram. It’s four more letters and you have a degree. Get with it.
N00dz
Are you talking about noodles? Cause it looks like you tried writing out noodles but had a stroke midway through. Also, are those zeroes? Because they have no place in words, they’re numbers.
GIF
We’re adding this to the list strictly because no one know how to f*cking say it. It’s not JIFF, it’s GIF, with a G sound. Ga.
