Post some weird / good new dictionary words that have been added to the English language over the past few years..
DO NOT SAY YOLO OR SWAG

So yeah, here's a few to get things started with some new words from May and June 2013...

Textritis[n] - Pain in fingers or thumb from excessive texting
Mononymous[adj] - Known only by a single name
Yawnogenic[adj] - Sleep-inducing
Decrapitize[v] - To reduce clutter from
Wackadoo[n] - A wacky person
Gumflapper[n] - A person who talks excessively (new possible word for mic spammers?)
facebook[v] - To use Facebook (I don't get it?)

All of these are from the Merriam-Webster Dictionary (though probably not in the official section, under the colloquial/slang section)
