Weird Word of the Week: Mahoosive

"Mahoosive" is just one of many new words added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2014.

I'll bet you can guess what "mahoosive" means, but in case you can't, the Urban Dictionary explains it's something "beyond being massive" or "astronomically immense in its magnitude."

Some of the other new words and expressions are:

LOLcat

Five-second rule

Keyboard warrior

Digital footprint

Duck face

Man crush

Food diary

(If none of these seems "new" to you, that's because it takes the OED a little while to catch up with current culture.)
