Brogrammer, hyperlocal: Dictionary.com adds words

Feeling some microaggression toward a blackhat who's doxxed you on a glanceable smartwatch platform?

If not, don't worry — that's just anecdata.

Dictionary.com unveiled its newest entries on Wednesday, focusing on new and updated technology terms along with thousands of new or revised definitions that reflect English terms used in-person and online.

According to the company, the tech-based words were chosen based on their newsworthiness (see: revenge porn),  and the volume by which words were searched on the site. Definitions have also been created for actions and items related to emerging technology like the Apple Watch (like glanceable). Scroll down for definitions.

Interestingly, Dictionary.com is also assigning new, zeitgeist-attuned meanings to common words. For example, "basic" does not mean just "generic" now — its definition has been expanded on the website to include "characterized by predictable or unoriginal style, interests, or behavior." (Take that, Ugg boots and lattes.)

Dictionary.com also added words related to an inclusive perspective on gender identification like agender, big gender and gender-fluid.
