The English language is changing all the time. Lots of words become obsolete, when they are no longer used very much, and people start forgetting what they actually mean. New words are created and added all the time to the dictionary as they become more popular. Many of these started as slang terms.
Here are some of the words added to the Cambridge Dictionary this year:
The ick – a sudden feeling that you dislike someone or something or are no longer attracted to someone because of something they do
A chef’s kiss – showing you think something is excellent when you put your fingers and thumb together, kiss them, then move your hand away from your lips
Face journey – when your face goes through a series of different emotions when reacting to something.
