Neologisms. Updating our language.

Today our world is rappidly changing. Every change is inevitably followed by a change of a language. English is a language of many countries, and it is shaped a lot every time something new comes out.

 As you've already undersood,  I am willing to talk about neolgisms.

Personally, I like to watch the language change in a dictionary. Let me just give you some examples of recently found words in an online Cambridge dictionary. So, here they are:

New words – 13 February 2017

thrisis noun [C] /ˈθraɪ.sɪs/ feelings of unhappiness, worry, and disappointment that some people experience when they are around 30 years old and that can sometimes lead them to make important changes in their life

From the outside, my life looks pretty good. I’m 32. I have fantastic friends and a great job … So why do I feel like I’m doing everything wrong? Welcome to the 30-something crisis – or ‘thrisis’ – the feeling that, just a decade into being a grown-up, you’re running out of time.  

JAM noun [C] /dʒæm/ abbreviation for just about managing; used in the UK to describe people who have just enough money to survive, but nothing more

Jams account for two-thirds of all families with children receiving tax credits … More than two thirds have less than a month’s income’s worth of savings. So, the argument goes, Jams are especially vulnerable to weak income growth, rising costs and the freeze on working-age benefits until 2019.

Bremoaner noun [C] UK /brə.’məʊn.ə/ US /brə.’moʊn.ɚ/ someone who complains about Britain’s exit from the European Union

Anybody asking questions about our future relationship with our biggest trading partner is dismissed as a Bremoaner. I have been called worse in my time.
