On the Merriam-Webster open dictionary, you can find many new words, some that you’ve never even heard of, and probably some words you’ve heard used. Honestly, some of the entries seem completely ridiculous to me, but I find it amusing to look at the list. On the other hand, there are some useful new words on the list that are probably worthy of being used more often. Here are some especially interesting ones:
- wassup; what’s up (noun)

- congressioner; congressman or congresswoman (noun)
- bureauclast; someone appointed to destroy or dismantle the agency or department for which he/she works (noun)
