India, Aug. 18 -- The Cambridge Dictionary has added over 6,000 new words and phrases this year, many of which have originated from the internet, including platforms like TikTok. Among the most eye-catching are 'skibidi', 'tradwife' and 'delulu': slang terms which highlight the influence of the younger generation on global English.

According to The Guardian, Colin McIntosh, lexical program manager at Cambridge Dictionary, said the move reflects long-term linguistic trends instead of short-lived fads. McIntosh noted that the internet culture was changing the English language and that it is "fascinating" to observe its effects and capture it in the dictionary. "We only add words where we think they'll have staying power," he said.
