The Cambridge dictionary has been replenished with three neologisms derived from Internet culture and social networks.
The Dictionary of the Cambridge announced the addition of three new words that have become popular thanks to the Internet culture and culture. We talked about Skididi, Tradwife and Delulu, reports The Guardian.
Skibidi – A flexible word that can be used both in the sense of “cool” and “bad”, or even a joke. Example: “What are you doing skidi?”
This expression gained popularity after the release of the animated series Skibidi Toilet in 2023 on YouTube. Its creator is Russian Alexei Gerasimov. Earlier, the word sound on the track of the small large group, but then it did not make any sense and was used only as a set of sounds.
Trawife – shortened from traditional spouse (“traditional wife”). This is the name of women who claim the values of the conservative family and actively spread them on social networks. For them, the main thing in life is the care of her husband, children and homes.
Delulu – comes from delusional (“delusional”). Initially, this word appeared in K-Pop fan communities about ten years ago as the ironic name of those who believe in the possibility of a personal meeting with their idols. Over time, it began to assign anyone living with illusions and unrealistic expectations.
The head of the dictionary vocabulary program Colin Makintosh explained that the compilers only add to those words that “left a remarkable trace and is well -rooted in the language.”
“It doesn’t happen every day to see words like” Skibidi “and” Delulu “added to the Cambridge dictionary. Internet culture changes English, and this effect is an exciting observing and reflecting the dictionary,” he said.
Earlier it was reported that the Oxford Dictionary of the English language chose the word brain rot (brain rot) with the word of the year.
