Merriam Webster Updates Collegiate Dictionary

Merriam-Webster is adding five-thousand new words to its Collegiate Dictionary, including "doomscroll," "dumbphone" and "W-F-H."

The Springfield-based publisher announced this week it was revising and reimagining its 12th addition, a full 22 years after its last update.

Other additions include "cold brew," "rizz," "dad bod," "hard pass," and "cancel culture."

The company is also including curated words lists, including "Words From the 1990s" and "Words for Things That Often Go Unnamed."
