Let’s Celebrate New Dictionary Words With A ‘Selfie’

Merriam-Webster added 150 new words to their official dictionary today, including hashtag, selfie and tweep.

Other words added to the dictionary include turducken (A duck cooked inside a chicken that's cooked inside a turkey), fracking, freegan and Yooper, a nickname for people from Northern Michigan.
