The English language is starting to sound like a high school hallway.

The Oxford English Dictionary just announced some new additions, which more or less legitimizes them as real English words. Check 'em out...

Fo' shizzle "In the language of rap and hip-hop, this means 'for sure.'"

Half-ass "To perform an action or task poorly or incompetently; to do something in a half-hearted manner."

Hot mess "Something or someone in extreme confusion or disorder."

Vape "Inhale and exhale the vapor produced by an electronic cigarette or similar device"

Sext "A sexually explicit or suggestive message or image sent electronically, typically using a mobile phone."

Stanky "Having a strong, usually unpleasant, smell."

At least the Oxford Dictionary uses only written definitions... and we don't have to look at a picture of somebody sexting while getting photobombed by some guy vaping on his stanky e-cig and tweeting about some half-ass invention he wants crowdfunded. 

That would be a hot mess, fo' shizzle.
