The next time you open up a Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary you will find some new words.
Among them, according to a story posted on the Merriam-Webster website: f-bomb, sexting, bucket list and man cave.
"Some of the new words this year provide colorful images," Merriam-Webster Editor at Large Peter Sokolowski says in the story posted on the Merriam-Webster website. "Terms like 'man cave,' 'underwater' (when used to describe mortgages), 'earworm,' and 'bucket list' paint vivid pictures in your mind. They show that English-speakers can be very creative as they describe the world around them."
