Words popularised by Gen Z and Gen Alpha including "skibidi", "delulu", and "tradwife" are among 6,000 new entries to the online edition of the Cambridge Dictionary over the last year, its publisher has said.
A word used with defined spelling and pronunciation, used with a general meaning should be in dictionaries, especially with online dictionaries making the process much easier than print. I hear that word used enough with the same general meaning [Cool, rad, amazing]. it is a word and dictionaries are there to catalog the definitions of words.
I was gonna respond to comment op with, yeah but its our boomer moment. So this is 100%.
Everyone thinks they’ll be different, Everyone thinks its novel to cringe at the new and not want to validate it, but we did it with papyrus and slate and we’ll whinge and cringe at the newfangled ludicarcy of the new generation always. (I will also specifically comment that having 3, 4 year olds running a circle around me and chanting “Chiken jockey, sigma, skibidi” also makes me uncomfortable but for different reasons)
