Think you know all of the Gen-Z speak? Think again!
Anyone with teenagers will know that the new generation's language is from a whole other world. Born from various social media platforms, words like 'Rizz' (romantic appeal or charm) and 'Simp' (a foolish or stupid person) have now officially made their way into the Merriam Webster dictionary. Guess we have no choice but to start using them now!
Here are a few other of Merriam Webster's newest additions:
