Oxford

As someone who not only holds a degree in English, but also as someone who works with words every day, I hate this news story that comes every year.

That story? The words that are added to the Oxford Dictionary. This year's group is especially bad.

Here's the list, via Quartz

amazeballs
hot mess
clickbait
listicle
douchebaggery
dox
neckbeard
hot diggity
humblebrag
catfish
vape
cord cutter
mansplain
YOLO
side-eye
SMH
