The English language is constantly evolving and to keep up with the slangs that now rule and impact our everyday lives, new words like ‘omnishambles’, ‘satoshi, ‘nomophobia and ‘lightsabre’ were added to the dictionary in 2019. Some of the latest additions surprised us, but other words left us wondering why they weren’t included earlier.
