Terms like 'Snowflake' has already been a part of English vernacular from the get-go, but they have been updated with new definitions in the recent feature.

'Tomgirl' refers to a boy who behaves in a typically girlish manner.
Besides these words, a variety of acronyms also made it to the Dictionary. One such term is 'TTC' - meaning "Trying To Conceive".
