Algorithm cooked with this one

I love language's inability to change. I mean that's why this sentence is exactly the same as it would be 500 years ago.
-
"Anyone finding themselves in a situation where the word "edgelord" is thrown around probably already knows what it means" is giving the first Polish dictionary's definition of "horse": "everyone can see what a horse is"
-
Zhuzh entered Polari from Hungarian. It was as word people used in the US in the 00's because there was a guy on TV who said it.
-
websters dictionary has been a joke for years now
-
calling zhuzh one of the worst words is a little unfair, look more deeply into Polari to understand the nature of its usage and origin
-
why are you hating on zhuzh it's a perfectly valid word that i dont hear too uncommonly. sincerely, a 19-year old
-
It's our own fault these words are in the dictionary; we use them, they get added. So, we stop using them, and maybe they get removed? Anyway, everyone stop using the term "beast mode"
-
Zhuzh was a huge part of the zeitgeist in the 2000's. Anyone 25 and up in the English speaking world would likely have heard it used.
-
edgelord hits so differently nowadays
-
We use zhuzh all the time in my house
-
jorts? i have never heard that word before you mentioned it
-
3:13 Polari is VERY interesting if you’re into linguistics and languages.
-
I've definitely heard 'jeujed up' before, but it is pretty obscured
-
If they add gen Alpha slangs into dictionary in the future I'll vote for the nuclear war
-

-
The Webster dictionary was always a joke
-
