Last week, the Official Oxford Dictionary Add-On was published and unveiled in the Trafalgar Square Waterstones branch. The Add-On, set to have new editions once a year, comes following what officials describe as “a growing national inability to accurately describe modern experiences.” The book introduces a number of new terms, some of which can be found below.

 

The Add-On will be distributed to selected libraries, government offices and will be available to buy nationwide at Foyles & Waterstones for £13.95.
