Have yous seen a selfie with some girl doing a duck face? If you don't know what that is...it's a face made to mimic a kissing motion, with the girls' lipped puffed out and her cheeks squeezed in. Word is it makes everyone look thinner.

Never heard of it?

Well now, duck face is a real word. Oxforddictionaries.com has added it.

Another term you might hear all the time is "man crush," which has also been added to the Oxford Dictionary. I don't know what this world is coming to, but it seems like anyone can make up a word and it can be added to the dictionary.

I'm suggesting my self-administered nickname -- "Swaggy E" -- should be added next year. Nothing's cooler than that.

Other words that were added this year are "cool beans," the "five-second rule" and "digital footprint," among others.
