Merriam-Webster just added 370 words and phrases to its dictionary this month. Although that may not be ground breaking news, the words that were added may surprise you. Among the many are these notables...
Pumpkin spice
Shrinkflation
Adorkable
Subvariant
ICYMI (for those who don't text much, that means In Case You Missed It)
Yeet

The editor of Merriam-Webster, Peter sokolowski said, “Some of these words will amuse or inspire, others may provoke debate. Our job is to capture the language as it is used.”
IMHO I think they missed two big ones...Gothamite and Gothamly. Let's get a petition going.
