The Oxford English Dictionary took a page out of rap bard/ business impresario Jay Z's book and introduced #NewWords to its massive tome. Most interestingly, of the 65 new words, a significant amount of them are tech-inspired (and "buzzworthy," according to Oxford).

New words include: selfie, phablet, FOMO, bitcoin, emoji, LDR, MOOC, Internet of things, BYOD, and srsly, among others.

Check out the full list here.
