It's finally happened.
The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) has added more than 1,200 new words and phrases in its latest update, leading to it having a brand new final word.
So, move over zythum – noun, a type of malt beer brewed in ancient Egypt – and say hello to Zyzzyva – noun, a type of tropical weevils native to South America, typically found on or near palm trees.
And it seems the word wasn't coined just to get a seriously good score in Scrabble.
"Some sources suggest it is an onomatopoeic reference to the noise made by the weevil, possibly inspired by a former genus of leafhoppers, Zyzza, and perhaps chosen deliberately as an alphabetical curiosity," the OED explained.
Oh, and if you want to know how to pronounce it, it's basically "zis-if-fa".
The new version of the dictionary has also added a new meaning to "thing" for when it's used like, "Is that even a thing?", and added a different definition of "woke" to being 'aware' or 'well informed' in a political or cultural sense.
2016's word of the year "post-truth" has also been entered into the dictionary and defined as: "Relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping political debate or public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief."
Earlier this month, the OED added Eminem's 2000 song about an obsessive fan 'Stan'.
