Hey there, fellow parents! So, guess what? The Oxford Dictionary just dropped its latest list of new words, and I’m totally here for it. I’ll be honest—it’s tough to keep a straight face and act like a grown-up when it comes to all this fun slang. If you’re like me and sometimes dread using terms that might sound a bit childish, fear not! You’re definitely not alone. Embrace that playful spirit and let’s dive into these fresh additions that can spice up our conversations.

Here are some standout words that made the cut:

1. Hangry
   You know that feeling when you’re irritable because you haven’t eaten? Yup, that’s hangry—perfect for those moments when your kids mysteriously “borrow” your snacks.
2. Rage Quit
   Ever had your little one throw down their toys in frustration? That’s a rage quit, folks! My kid just rage-quitted a puzzle because that last piece was a total nightmare.
3. Weak Sauce
   This term is great for anything that fails to impress. Like that umbrella stroller that barely rolls—seriously, it’s weak sauce!
4. NBD
   Short for “no big deal,” this one comes in handy when your partner casually eats your last ice cream bar without noticing your existential crisis.
5. Butthurt
   Sometimes, you’ll find a fellow mom in the comments who’s butthurt over the silliest things. It’s a real phenomenon!
6. MacGyver
   If you’ve ever fixed something with duct tape and sheer willpower, you’ve definitely MacGyvered it. I once turned an old phone into a toy just to keep my toddler from streaming videos non-stop!
7. Brain Fart
   Let’s face it; we all have those moments where we just forget things—yup, that’s a brain fart. Thanks to my teething baby, I’m having one right now!
8. Wine O’clock
   The moment your kids finally doze off? That’s wine o’clock for sure. Cheers, parents!
9. Mic Drop
   Successfully getting your kid into bed without waking them up? That deserves a mic drop moment!
10. Rando
    You know that random person at the park who seems out of place? Yep, that’s a rando.
11. Bitch Face
    We’ve all been there—when someone asks if your partner is “babysitting” while you’re out. Epic bitch face moment incoming!

So, embrace these vibrant words and use them with pride. They add a sprinkle of humor to our daily lives.
