There are some rly awesomesauce words in here.

This morning, Oxford Dictionaries released their list of new words they've added to the dictionary and there are a few surprising ones. Yes, rly.

More than 20 words join the pack, from hangry to butthurt to cat cafe (a term you think would be self-explanatory). And some of the words can most definitely be described by a word already in the dictionary: random.

So, my etymological friends, here are a 9 of the unique new words that are now officially in the dictionary:

Butthurt

Subway

(noun) Oxford defines this as "the practice whereby a man, especially one traveling on public transport, adopts a sitting position with his legs wide apart, in such a way as to encroach on an adjacent seat or seats." If you ever take public transportation anywhere in the world, you are quite familiar with this concept.

Cat cafe
