New words just dropped! 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.
