Cambridge Dictionary adds 'skibidi' and 'tradwife'
What the skibidi is happening to the English language? "Skibidi," pronounced SKI-bi-di, is one of the slang terms popularised by social media that are among more than 6000 additions this year to the Cambridge Dictionary. "Internet culture is changing the English language and the effect is fascinating to observe and capture in the dictionary," said Colin McIntosh, lexical program manager at Cambridge Dictionary, the world's largest online dictionary. "Skibidi" is a gibberish term coined by the creator of an animated YouTube series and can mean cool or bad or be used with no real meaning as a joke. Other planned additions include "tradwife," a contraction of "traditional wife" referring to a married mother who cooks, cleans and posts on social media, and "delulu," a shortening of the word delusional that means "believing things that are not real or true, usually because you choose to." Christian Ilbury, senior lecturer in sociolinguistics at the University of Edinburgh, said many of the new words are tied to social media platforms like TikTok because that is how most young people communicate. However, Ilbury said some of the words, including "delulu," have longer histories than people might think and have been used by speech communities for years. "It's really just the increase in visibility and potential uptake amongst communities who may not have engaged with those words before," he said. An increase in remote working since the pandemic has created the new dictionary entry "mouse jiggler," a device or piece of software used to make it seem like you are working when you are not. Environmental concerns are behind the addition of "forever chemical," a harmful substance that remains in the environment for a long time. Cambridge Dictionary uses the Cambridge English Corpus, a database of more than two billion words of written and spoken English, to monitor how new words are used by different people, how often and in what contexts they are used, the company said. "If you look at what a dictionary's function is, it's a public record of how people use language and so if people are now using words like 'skibidi' or 'delulu,' then the dictionary should take account of that," Ilbury said. McIntosh added that the dictionary has only added words it thinks have "staying power".

'I almost joined a cult in Mexico City...' Euphoria star Colman Domingo reveals
Colman Domingo almost accidentally joined a cult based in Mexico City. The Four Seasons star found himself talking to a group of what he thought were "nice people" when he was in Mexico, but he ultimately realised that they were trying to convert him to their belief system. Colman came to his senses after sensing there was something very odd about the conversation. Appearing on Mythical Kitchen's Last Meals, host Josh Scherer jokingly said to Colman "You haven't joined a cult yet now that you moved to Malibu?" To which the 55-year-old actor answered: "I almost joined a cult in Mexico City, but that's another story. "I accidentally almost joined the call in Mexico City a couple months ago. It was just a group of nice people, and then I was like, 'Wait a minute, this is weird.' I was like, 'What's up with you guys?'" After the encounter, Euphoria star Colman then did some more research on the group and confirmed his gut feeling that he was indeed targeted by a cult. The Oscar nominee added: "There's always something a little off, and you just have to listen. "This is my first encounter. But as I did research and found out more about them, I'm like, 'Oh, that's a cult." YouTube celebrity Scherer - who is best known as the host of Mythical Kitchen on the video sharing platform - confessed to Colman that he also found himself being targeted by a cult whilst he was out skateboarding. Scherer, 33, said: "I was about to talk to a cult the other day, and then they tried to get me to join. "I said no, and they were just like, 'No, I think you really should.' And then I was like, 'Don't mess with cults, man. Don't be the person that talks to too many people.' "And so, I skateboarded away."
