SMH, YOLO Added To Oxford Dictionary

In the August update of their online dictionary, the Oxford Dictionary added a slew of Internet slang words including “amazeballs,” “FML,” “SMH,” “douchebaggery,” and “YOLO.” In an explanation for the additions, the OD writes, “Throw an air punch of have a bro hug (don’t be cray and throw shade or show us the side-eye); be a baller and join the hyperconnected vocabulary fandom and read on to discover which new words from the worlds of popular culture, technology, the news, and more have been added to OxfordDictionaries.com.” Other Internet-era words such as “binge-watch,” “hate-watch,” “click bait,” “listicle,” and “adorbs” were also included.
