Cambridge Dictionary Adds “Tradwife,” “Delulu,” and “Skibidi”: A Generation’s Linguistic Quandary
The Cambridge Dictionary has added 6,000 new words this year, many of which are influenced by social media and pop culture. Terms like “delulu,” “tradwife,” “broligarchy,” and “lewk” have been included due to their growing presence in both online and traditional media. These new additions are often linked to celebrities and trends, such as the “tradwife” movement or the viral phrase “skibidi.” The dictionary’s lexical program manager, Colin McIntosh, believes these words have staying power, reflecting the impact of internet culture on the English language.
