New Words

The OED's recent update includes bookaholic and bestie.

It takes awhile before the new word enters the word processing lexicons. I had no difficulty with bookaholic, but needed to look up bestie. No one I know refers to a friend as their bestie-- a person's best friend.

This must be a word that is age related.

One other word that made the updated list-- wackadoodle. It's syncopated, but lacks something.

But you need to keep up-- even if you never intend to use the word.
