Merriam Webster Adds Jeggings To The Dictionary, And 5 other slang

Just like me, you thought the word jeggings was an English word right? Well, its a slang... Until recently sha. Read this..

For better or for worse, you can now find
jeggings listed in the JE-JI section of the
dictionary. As of this week, Merriam
Webster added jeggings to its unabridged
version, the New York Times
reported. Though the jean/legging hybrids
might not be as popular as they once were,
they’ll now be immortalized forever.
Jeggings isn’t the only new word to hit the
dictionary this week, joined by a slew of
others that highlight our internet and
social media-centric world. Emoji, meme,
photobomb, twerk, WTF, and NSFW also
now take up prime page real estate. Sadly,
however, the word-picking folk missed a
handful of fashion and beauty related
slang terms definitely worthy of dictionary
status such as "On Fleek", "Selfie Stick", "Belfie" and "YAASS".... Click here to find out the meaning of these words.
