"Moobs" and "Biatch"

If that makes you want to vom, well, good news! That’s now officially a word as well.

The Oxford English Dictionary added more than 500 words and phrases in an epic update earlier this week, and congrats, millennials. It’s obvious that you’re winning.

Resting bitch face” also made the cut this time around, and so did “YOLO!” They were joined by “moobs,” “biatch,” “filthifying,” “false friend,” “clifty,” “crap” and “freemium,” most of which our spell checker is having a difficult time accepting.

The entire list of new words and phrases can be found here, but it’s finally happening folks. That’s right, the gap between the Oxford English Dictionary and Urban Dictionary is now smaller than the gap between Michael Strahan’s two front teeth.

Think that’s offensive? Well, just fuhgeddaboudit, which is also now officially a word.

Nothing is as effective as homeopathy.

I'd rather listen to an hour of Abba than an hour of The Beatles.

Why did it take so long for 'crap'?
I cite irreconcilable differences.

Crap is already in the OED. Maybe it's having additional definitions added or something. In the main list it says it's being added as an interjection.
What do you mean "we", have you got a mouse in your pocket?

How about 'rehome'? Like when you give your dog to somebody else.
