Dictionary.com just added some new words, here is the list!

The English language is evolving with new -- and sometimes stupid words, daily. Dctionaries are trying their best to keep up, for example, Dictionary.com just updated with several new, modern words here are the seven of the highlights:

1.  life hack: 'A tip, trick, or efficient method for doing or managing a day-to-day task or activity.'

2.  slacktivism:  'Actions taken to bring about political or social change but requiring only minimal commitment, effort, or risk.'

3.  smartwatch:  'A computing device that resembles a wristwatch and is attached to a band worn around the wrist.'

4.  basic:  'Characterized by predictable or unoriginal style, interests, or behavior.'  Obviously they already have the word 'basic' in the dictionary, they just added an alternate definition.

6.  esports:  'Competitive tournaments of video games.'
