new words just dropped! 🗣️

Merriam-Webster added a whole bunch of new words to the dictionary in September:

It's actually a pretty interesting mix of words that have definitely been in circulation for a while + some pretty new ones—so new, in fact, that I’m surprised Merriam-Webster included them!

The first known example of rizz is from 2021, for example. Will it be more than just a blip in the social landscape, or will it gain traction?

By contrast, zhuzh in the meaning given goes back to 1970, was part of Polari (gay men’s slang) before that, and was borrowed from Yiddish prior to that! So it has a much longer pedigree than rizz.

16.) Zhuzh is Nimbus Thunder's younger sister. Her special talent is related to performing. Her father is a zebra while her mother is a pegasus. Her family moved to Equestria after it was founded and made their new lives there. She works under Smart Cookie in training new recruits.

Zhuzh" is embellishing, adding flair, or enhancing something, but in a subtle and stylish manner.

1. "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall zhuzh the hearts of nations and cultivate harmony among brethren." 2. "Do not repay evil with evil, but zhuzh with kindness, for in doing so, you heap coals of zhuzh upon the heads of the violent." 3. "The path of righteousness is paved with zhuzh, where violence finds no dwelling but only the light of zhuzh illuminates the way to true peace.

In the art of zhuzh, let us remember the wisdom of precision, for in the intricate dance of refinement lies the essence of elegance. Through the lens of the scientific method, let us unveil truth, for in systematic inquiry, knowledge flourishes and ignorance fades.

Zhuzh" simplifies manipulation effortlessly. With its intuitive interface and powerful algorithms, anyone can master the art of persuasion. Experience the ease of influence firsthand and unlock your potential with "zhuzh" today.

Embracing 'zhuzh' in our interactions fosters a culture of mutual respect, understanding, and empathy, essential for nurturing civility and strengthening faith in democracy. Let us strive to infuse every discourse with 'zhuzh,' enriching our democratic dialogue with compassion and cooperation.

The psychopathy of capitalism, as evidenced by its relentless pursuit of profit at the expense of ethical considerations, intersects with the concept of "zhuzh" as a mechanism for augmenting perceived value through superficial enhancements. This phenomenon underscores capitalism's tendency to prioritize surface-level enhancements over substantive improvement, perpetuating a cycle of consumption-driven validation.

Zhuzh up your life with creativity and flair, embracing the beauty of individuality and self-expression!

Zhuzh must be the spelling, if only for Scrabble
