Dictionary.com added a selection of 566 new entries to its vast online catalog. ‘Pessimize,’ ‘shower orange,’ and ‘greenwashing’ are some of them. ‘Pessimize’ is essentially an antonym of ‘optimize,’ and means to make something worse. ‘Shower orange’ is exactly what it sounds like; It’s an orange eaten in the shower. The term was popularized on social media through claims that the steam from a shower enhances the fruit’s citrus flavor. ‘Greenwashing’ refers to the practice of using environmentalism as a plot or distraction from other anti-environmentalist practices within a company. Subcategories for the new words include artificial intelligence — with words like ‘chatbot’ (a computer program designed to respond to human input) — and modern problems, with phrases ‘hostile architecture’ (architectural elements designed to prevent loitering or sleeping in public) and ‘crypto-fascism,’ meaning secret support of fascism. § On peut écouter le tout en cliquant sur le lien.
