“Fo’ Shizzle” and “Hot Mess” Were Just Added to the Oxford English Dictionary

The Oxford English Dictionary just announced some new additions, which more or less legitimizes them as real English words. Check ’em out . . .

Autotune. “To alter or correct the pitch of a musical or vocal performance using an auto-tune device, software, etc.”

Fo’ shizzle. “In the language of rap and hip-hop, this means ‘for sure.'”

Hot mess. “Something or someone in extreme confusion or disorder.”
