Truly it is almost every day that you can encounter a new word. I was surprised one time when I heard a word (CHAROT) :D which is not familiar to me because it is a gay language and it is new to my ear. As time past by I kept on hearing that word (CHAROT) from a friend and some other people in my area and even hearing them on television. So I ask what does that word mean? And I found out that CHAROT means JOKE or JOKING. Just telling my story. I wonder if that word will be put in the dictionary one day. It is a Filipino langauge by the way.
Do you guys remember a word which is not familiar to you that has been spit out by someone yet youll just noticed that the people around you are saying it too?
I wonder if all Altcoins will be put in the dictionary too?
I'll just wait and see.
