"Skibidi" isn’t just internet slang anymore. It’s an official term in the Cambridge Dictionary. Skibidi, a term coined on YouTube, can mean good or bad, depending on the context. Cambridge Dictionary announced more than 6,000 new entries this year, including "tradwife," shorthand for the traditional wife influencer lifestyle; "delulu," short for delusional; and "forever chemical," referring to pollutants that linger in the environment.
