Brexit, the year’s key political term, along with glam-ma and YouTuber are among the 500 new words, phrases and senses added in the Oxford English Dictionary’s latest quarterly update released. Brexit’s inclusion in Oxford English Dictionary December update within five years of being coined is highly unusual.
