Whatevs, simples, chillax, sumfin and Jafaican have been added to the Oxford English Dictionary.
They are among 203 new words which appear in the dictionary for the very first time.
Other words which are part of the October 2019 update include Jedi, nomophobia and easy-breezy.
The letter 'O' has also been added and is defined as being "used to symbolise a hug especially at the end of a letter or greetings card".
The full list is available on the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) website.
