12 capacious and funny English neologisms
Some new words are becoming so popular that they are firmly established in the language of everyday communication. Lifehacker with12 has collected capacious and funny English neologisms, which have all the chances to take root in the Russian language.
English is considered to be the most dynamically developing language in the world. It is in English that a large number of neologisms are born every day - new words designed to concisely and briefly identify the changed concepts or phenomena of our life.
Most neologisms disappear as quickly as they appeared. But part of the new words with time is fixed in the language and becomes its integral part. By the way, once “bitcoins” and “selfies” were also little-known neologisms.
In the selection - words that are still little known in RuNet, but have already gained popularity in the English-language segment of the Network and even got offline. Ready? Ok, let's go!
