The Cambridge Dictionary has added 6,000 new words, many popularised by Gen Z and Gen Alpha, including "delulu", and "tradwife".
"Tradwife" reflects a growing TikTok trend embracing traditional gender roles, while "delulu" means being delusional by choice.
Other additions include "inspo", and "brain rot", showing the influence of internet and work-from-home culture.
