The Cambridge Dictionary added 6,000 new words, including internet slang like "skibidi," "tradwife," and "delulu." The additions reflect internet culture's impact on language. Terms like "mouse jiggler" and "broligarchy" also joined the lexicon, showcasing technology's influence. Cambridge emphasizes the words' staying power, not their desirability, as a criteria for inclusion. Even older terms like "work spouse" were added, highlighting the dictionary's ongoing evolution.
