"Merriam-Webster has added hundreds of new words to its dictionary, reflecting increased usage in popular culture. The Springfield, Massachusetts-based company on Monday added words like swole, bug-out bag and omnicide to the roughly half-million words already listed. Swole means to get muscular, a bug-out bag is a bag packed with survival supplies, and omnicide means the destruction of all life. Some words are more familiar, they just have new meanings, for example snowflake, which now also has a usually disparaging meaning of "someone who is overly sensitive" Peter Sokolowski, Merriam-Webster's editor at large, says the company's lexicographers scan online versions of newspapers, magazines, academic journals, books and even movie and television scripts until they detect what he calls "a critical mass" of usage that warrants inclusion in the dictionary."

I do like the overall look of these dive watches, one detail I don't get is the hour hand - that's a very nice one, year?
@jhross98: any idea why some of the snowflakes have the crown so damaged?? Not the first time I see this…
Am I missing something? None of these descriptions for EGOT look dictionaryworthy (if that's a word).

Nah, they're probably a bunch of snowflakes who'll melt if a bully like me complains to them about formalising a label for a minority group of 15 people.
All around the world, dictionaries are adding phrases. It really irritates me. "bug-out bag" for example. It may warrant an entry if the phrase had a different meaning to the actual words, but they rarely do.
