Get Pregnant Fast

The Oxford Dictionary has just unveiled its latest quarterly update, and I have to say, I’m all for it. I’ll admit, it’s a bit tricky for me to embrace my age, especially when it comes to the world of slang. However, this update is packed with fantastic terms that parents might hesitate to use, fearing they’ll sound like big kids themselves. But guess what? You’re not just an overgrown child. The Oxford Dictionary gives you the green light to embrace these expressions—so why not enjoy the ride?

Here are some standout words that made the cut:

1. Hangry
   Feeling irritable due to hunger:
   “I’m hangry because my kids keep stealing my fries.”
2. Rage Quit
   To angrily abandon an activity that’s become too frustrating:
   “My toddler just rage-quit the Lego set because that piece is impossible.”
3. Weak Sauce
   Describes something of poor quality:
   “That umbrella stroller is totally weak sauce.”
4. NBD
   Short for “no big deal”:
   “My partner devoured my last chocolate bar and acted like it was NBD. Seriously?”
5. Butthurt
   Feeling overly offended without reason:
   “There’s always that one mom in the Facebook group who gets butthurt over nothing.”
6. MacGyver
   To create or fix something using whatever is available:
   “I totally MacGyvered a broken toy with some tape and a paper clip.”
7. Brain Fart
   A temporary mental lapse:
   “I’m having a brain fart because my baby kept me up all night.”
8. Wine O’clock
   The perfect time to pour yourself some wine:
   “Finally, the kids are asleep. It’s wine o’clock!”
9. Mic Drop
   A phrase used to signify a conclusive statement:
   “I managed to get my toddler into bed without waking him—mic drop.”
10. Rando
    A stranger who seems out of place:
    “I can’t stand seeing a rando at the playground without kids.”
