Philly Slang Word Is Among The 566 New Words Added To The Dictionary
Every year, Dictionary.com adds new words and definitions that have been more widely used by the general public. It was only a matter of time before they added a Philly slang word to the list.
With all the new talk of AI and computer generated thought processes, it only makes sense that some of the AI related terms were of the first to be included.
AI Terms
Biohacking (strategic biological experimentation especially on one’s self) is one of the many words that was added.
Among many other recently popular terms are: algo (computer algorithm), and information pollution (the introduction of falsehood, irrelevance, bias, and sensationalism into a source of information, resulting in the dilution of essential facts).
Dictionary.com which also runs Thesaurus.com, announced 566 new entries and 348 new definitions for the fall of 2023.
Philly Slang
One Philly slang word is among the 566 new words added and we couldn’t be more excited and finally, vindicated.
We always knew it was a word. If you’re from the Philadelphia area, you use it regularly.
Drumroll please…
The newest hyper local term to be added as an official word into Dictionary.com is, JAWN.
That’s right. Jawn now has a place in the dictionary and an official definition.
Jawn is listed as “something or someone that doesn’t need a specific word.”
Philadelphians rejoice!
I mean, it didn’t really need a definition. That was the beauty of the whole thing. But, at least now we can argue that it’s a real word.
How To Manage Back To School Stress As A Parent In Delaware
It’s hard to believe it’s already September and the kids are back in the classroom already. This can be a tough time of year for students and for parents. So I decided to gather some helpful info if you’re wondering How To Manage Back To School Stress As A Parent In Delaware, and anywhere really!
For me, most of my childhood and elementary school years were spent being bullied. I know I had good times, and a few friends and for that I am grateful. But overall, the majority of my memories involve coming home crying or feeling like I didn’t fit in.
Unfortunately, a lot of students experience this no matter what grade they’re in. Bullying can happen in any grade or age range. It’s important to prep your children for the potential of other students being not so nice.
Add the daily pressures of performing to your best abilities, and any student can feel easily overwhelmed or stressed out.
So how do we help our kids manage back to school stress?
I’ll give you a hint, it doesn’t have anything to do with buying them the newest and coolest backpack, but that would help.
Well, I’m not a parent but I’m an aunt, a former teacher and a former student who experienced it all. I can tell you from experience, that I wish I had more tools to cope in a healthy way when it came to school stress.
My parents did the absolute best job they know how but we could all learn from the experience and just hope to help someone currently going through it.
