WORDS YOUTUBER AND BREXIT ADDED TO THE OXFORD ENGLISH DICTIONARY

YouTuber, Brexit and more than 1,500 new words and phrases have been included in the latest edition of the Oxford English Dictionary (OED).

OED editors steered clear of political controversy by defining the process of Brexit rather than its consequences or implementation.

The definition reads: “The (proposed) withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union, and the political process associated with it. Sometimes used specifically with reference to the referendum held in the UK on 23 June 2016, in which a majority of voters favoured withdrawal from the EU.” Guardian UK reported.
