Worst “Words” in the Dictionary these words better face jail time bro im challenging merriam webster to a boxing match Merriam Webster article: www.merriam-webster.com/wordp...
"Anyone finding themselves in a situation where the word "edgelord" is thrown around probably already knows what it means" is giving the first Polish dictionary's definition of "horse": "everyone can see what a horse is"
It's our own fault these words are in the dictionary; we use them, they get added. So, we stop using them, and maybe they get removed? Anyway, everyone stop using the term "beast mode"
(Excuse me if I am missing some irony here - if so, carry on.) What are you *talking* about? What else is a dictionary to do than list words used in a language? Notably, the OED contains almost all words mentioned in this video, as it should - what makes it preferable to MW? Is your point that MW is too slow to pick up on many rather common terms?
Algorithm cooked with this one
Ur welcome

I love language's inability to change. I mean that's why this sentence is exactly the same as it would be 500 years ago.
calling zhuzh one of the worst words is a little unfair, look more deeply into Polari to understand the nature of its usage and origin
Fair, but im too lazy to do research
Zhuzh entered Polari from Hungarian. It was as word people used in the US in the 00's because there was a guy on TV who said it.
websters dictionary has been a joke for years now
'covfefe'

Agreed
why are you hating on zhuzh it's a perfectly valid word that i dont hear too uncommonly. sincerely, a 19-year old
Zhuzh was a huge part of the zeitgeist in the 2000's. Anyone 25 and up in the English speaking world would likely have heard it used.
Explains why I haven’t heard it lol
edgelord hits so differently nowadays
oh no...
3:13 Polari is VERY interesting if you’re into linguistics and languages.
jorts? i have never heard that word before you mentioned it
That’s kinda surprising
I've definitely heard 'jeujed up' before, but it is pretty obscured
We use zhuzh all the time in my house
If they add gen Alpha slangs into dictionary in the future I'll vote for the nuclear war
Sticking out your gyat for the rizzler
the dictionary just got ruined by children
The Webster dictionary was always a joke
dont look up munting
😭
That's just bri'ish for ugly
how are you a word hater like what
I only hate certain words
I hate all of them, even the words in this sentence.
i think the reason ur not gettibg views is the title - especially the last part "in 2023"
I’ll try removing it, thanks!
why tf does the dictionary have to have so many corny words 😭
That’s what I’m saying 😭
because we use them. gotta find out what they mean somewhere
There's a reason why I prefer the Oxford dictionary over Webster
Oxford would never go beast mode on us
