Oxford's "Oxford Dictionaries," the part of the company that aims to keep the English language current via popular trends, has legitimized several dozen slang words and Internet terms by adding them to its listings. The quarterly update, dated August 13, 2014, includes words and phrases like "acquihire," "amazeballs," "binge-watch," "douchebaggery," "hot mess," "live-tweet," "mansplain," "side boob" and many more.

Worth noting is that the database these words have been added to is not the prestigious Oxford English Dictionary. That's considered the high standard, real deal, accept-no-substitutes Dictionary which has much stricter requirements before a new word is allowed entry.

Here's a selection of some of the most interesting new Oxford Dictionaries words. (Grown-ups are advised to learn these terms to stay relevant to modern culture.) All definitions are taken from oxforddictionaries.com, and are often as entertaining as the words themselves.
