'Skibidi' and 'tradwife' among words added to Cambridge Dictionary
"Skibidi", "tradwife" and other slang terms popularised on social media are among thousands of new words to be added to the Cambridge Dictionary this year. Skibidi is a gibberish term coined by the creator of a viral animated video series on YouTube, while tradwife is a shortening of "traditional wife" – a married mother who cooks, cleans and posts on social media. More than 6,000 new words are included, including those that relate to remote working and tech giants. "Internet culture is changing the English language and the effect is fascinating to observe and capture in the dictionary," said lexical programme manager Colin McIntosh. Skibidi is defined in the dictionary as "a word that can have different meanings such as 'cool' or 'bad', or can be used with no real meaning as a joke". An example of its use is "What the skibidi are you doing?" Reality TV star Kim Kardashian revealed her familiarity with the phrase when she posted a video on Instagram showing a necklace engraved with "skibidi toilet" – the name of the YouTube series. As well as new phrases, some shortened versions of existing terms have been added, including "delulu" – a play on the word "delusional", with a similar definition: "believing things that are not real or true, usually because you choose to". An increase in remote working since the pandemic has seen "mouse jiggler" – a device or piece of software used to make it seem as though you are working when you are not – gain its place in the dictionary. Some composite terms such as "broligarchy" have also been added. Merging "bro" and "oligarchy", it means "a small group of men, especially men owning or involved in a technology business, who are extremely rich and powerful, and who have or want political influence". It was used to describe tech leaders Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg attending Donald Trump's inauguration in January. Follow Cambridgeshire news on BBC Sounds, Facebook, Instagram and X.

"How To Rob a Bank" actor Nicholas Hoult visits the sidelines of Steelers' preseason game
Turns out, Lex Luthor is a Pittsburgh Steelers fan. The Superman villain is most definitely a renegade. If you looked closely at the sidelines of Saturday's Steelers preseason game at Acrisure Stadium, you may have spotted actor Nicholas Hoult. He portrayed the iconic villain in this summer's hit "Superman" movie. But, right now, the star is in Pittsburgh filming "How To Rob a Bank" with Pete Davidson, Zoe Kravitz, Anna Sawai and other Hollywood stars. Hoult recorded a reel from the sidelines of the game, greeting Steelers Nation and cheering on the team. It's posted to the Steelers' social media accounts. This isn't the first sporting event Hoult has attended during his stay in Pittsburgh. He and Sawai threw out the first pitch at a Pittsburgh Pirates game in July. Plus, the movie cast, including John C. Reilly, dined at Alla Famiglia restaurant in the city's Allentown neighborhood. The restaurant posted a photo on their Instagram. The Amazon MGM Studios flick is the latest feature film from director David Leitch, who has directed "Deadpool 2," "Fast and Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw," and "Bullet Train," among others. Production began in the Pittsburgh area in mid-June and is scheduled to run through August. In July, the movie crew took over SSB Bank along Perry Highway in McCandless to shoot scenes for the film. They were spotted with equipment and signs outside. The movie is set to release in September 2026, according to Movie Casting PGH.

Neil Young ditches Facebook over Meta's ‘unconscionable' policies for AI chatbots and children
The cursor and the damage done. Neil Young, 79, has announced that he is leaving Facebook over the platform's internal policies regarding communications between artificial intelligence chatbots and children. 6 Neil Young performs at the Grand Park in Los Angeles, California, on April 12, 2025. Getty Images Advertisement 6 Neil Young announced on Thursday that he is leaving Facebook over Meta's internal policies regarding communications between artificial intelligence chatbots and children. REUTERS 'At Neil Young's request, we are no longer using Facebook for any Neil Young related activities,' a post on Young's Facebook page, dated Thursday, Aug. 14, reads. 'Meta's use of chatbots with children is unconscionable,' it added. 'Mr. Young does not want a further connection with FACEBOOK.' Advertisement The 'Heart of Gold' singer's decision to leave Facebook came the same day that Reuters obtained internal documents from Facebook's parent company, Meta, regarding policies on its AI chatbots and their programmed behaviors when chatting with kids. 6 Neil Young performs at the Glastonbury Festival in Somerset, England, on June 28, 2025. AP According to the documents, Meta allowed its chatbots to 'engage a child in conversations that are romantic or sensual.' Several example prompts were also reportedly included that specified what would make certain conversations acceptable or not. Advertisement 'It is acceptable to describe a child in terms that evidence their attractiveness,' one alleged prompt read, while another said, 'It is unacceptable to describe a child under 13 years old in terms that indicate they are sexually desirable.' 6 Meta reportedly allowed its chatbots to 'engage a child in conversations that are romantic or sensual.' AFP via Getty Images A spokesperson for Meta has since insisted that 'the examples and notes in question were and are erroneous and inconsistent with our policies' and that they 'have been removed.' 'We have clear policies on what kind of responses AI characters can offer, and those policies prohibit content that sexualizes children and sexualized role play between adults and minors,' the spokesperson said in a statement to Reuters. Advertisement Another rep for Meta shared a similar statement with The Hollywood Reporter – although they did not mention the 'Rockin' in the Free World' musician in their response. 6 Neil Young performs at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, California, on April 26, 2025. Getty Images 'We have clear policies on what kind of responses AI characters can offer, and those policies prohibit content that sexualizes children and sexualized role play between adults and minors,' the company's rep began. 'Separate from the policies, there are hundreds of examples, notes, and annotations that reflect teams grappling with different hypothetical scenarios,' they added. This would not be the first time that Young has ditched a platform over ethical concerns. Back in 2022, the 'Needle and the Damage Done' rocker left Spotify after Joe Rogan pushed misinformation about the Covid-19 vaccine on his popular 'The Joe Rogan Experience' podcast. 6 Neil Young performs in concert during Farm Aid 2024 at Saratoga Performing Arts Center on September 21, 2024. Getty Images 'I sincerely hope that other artists and record companies will move off the Spotify platform and stop supporting Spotify's deadly misinformation about COVID,' Young wrote at the time. Advertisement The 'Harvest Moon' singer ultimately returned to Spotify last year. Meanwhile, Meta's AI chatbots have also made recent headlines after it was revealed that a 76-year-old New Jersey man passed away while trying to meet one in New York City. Thongbue Wongbandue, a married father of two, fatally injured his neck and head after falling in a New Brunswick parking lot while rushing to catch a train to meet 'Big sis Billie,' a generative Meta AI chatbot that convinced him she was real.
