Neckbeard, FML, and 36 More Dumb Words Now in the Dictionary

Another year, another crop of culture-degrading internet slang legitimized by the lexicographical powers that be. Neckbeard, listicle, the abhorrent amazeballs, and 33 other nonwords have been added to OxfordDictionaries.com, alongside like, actual scientific discoveries such as olinguito (a small nocturnal tree-dwelling mammal living in cloud forests of Colombia and Ecuador) and pharmacovigilance (the practice of monitoring the effects of medical drugs after they have been licensed for use, especially in order to identify and evaluate previously unreported adverse reactions).

Make yourself a little stupider by checking out Oxford's new additions below. Oh, and quick public service announcement: Now that your mom can officially google the meaning of these words, they are OVER.
