Sexting, Sammich and Fnarr fnarr are now official words!
I often make fun of these words, and even make videos about them (8.9 million views and counting, btw!), and now a whole slew of these words are now official! The Oxford Dictionaries Online (sister to my favorite source, the Oxford English Dictionary) has officially recognized such words as:
Sexting
Scareware
Clickjacking
Woot
Sammich
Prolly
Who’da
Fnarr fnarr
You can see the list of new words here with some additional ones here.
What’s Fnarr fnarr you ask? Well, the official definition is:
-
used to represent sniggering, typically at a sexual innuendo: That’s some package! (Said the bishop to the actress, fnarr fnarr)
And what’s sniggering you ask? Well, that comes from “snigger” which is “a smothered or half-suppressed laugh.”
Boy, this stuff seems complicated! Someone should do a show about words like these!
Bye bye my dear students, MWAH! <– another of the now official words!
