The new edition of Collins Scrabble dictionary has added lotsa, twerking, lolz, and many more ridic words that are straight out of the slang vocabulary that the youth uses in social media posts, blogs, texts, tweets, comments, and other form of virtual interactions.
Even the word emoji is one of the 6,500 new words added to the official Scrabble dictionary.
"Dictionaries have always included formal and informal English, but it used to be hard to find printed evidence of the use of slang words," Helen Newstead, head of language content at Collins, told News.com.au.
Other words include facetime, which refers to talking someone in reference to the Apple app Facetime, Bezzy, which is short for best friend, and wahh, which is short for wailing.
For higher scoring words, there is quinzhee, which means an Inuit snow shelter, and there is schvitz, which is a Yiddish term meaning "to sweat."
However, not everyone is happy with the added words. Purists are objecting to the words added to the dictionary, saying that the words are an abuse to the English language and are mainly of youth culture and American influence, The Express Tribune reported.
The Collins Scrabble Word List is used by international tournament players, CNN reported. It includes more than 276,000 words from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, the U.K. and the U.S.
