From "dad bod" to "amirite": These are the new words added to the Merriam-Webster dictionary

As language evolves, so does the dictionary. Merriam-Webster has added 455 new words and definitions to its dictionary this year and some are surprising slang terms, while others are words that seem like they should've been added long ago.

The dictionary categorized the new additions into several groups based on their source, including words from online culture and communication, coronavirus words and words from tech and science.

In the first category, internet slang words – including abbreviations like "TBH" (to be honest) and "FTW" (for the win) – were added.
