From Oxford Dictionaries:

Oxford Dictionaries publishes an update of new entries today (#squadgoals), so let’s celebrate with a chest bump. This is truly a Kodak moment, so maybe it’s time to take a video selfie, and you’d better not untag yourself! Though it might not be the stuff of fitspo, you can still make room for this on your image board. Get yourself comfortable, check above you for drop bears, and grab yourself a cup of pour-over—it’s better than drinking the haterade! We’re very excited to share with you the Oxford Dictionaries’ funtastic list of new words.

. . . .

Thrill-seekers on the hunt for a way of levelling up their commute might choose to skitch: this word is a blend of skate or ski and hitch, and refers to the activity of ‘hitching’ onto a motor vehicle while riding a bike, skateboard, etc. so as to travel at greater speeds, not always giving the driver any warning of your intentions. Possibly not the safest way to get from A to B…

. . . .

If you’re anything like me, you need a bit of incentive to work up to any exercise. Perhaps this can be where fitspiration—often shortened to fitspo—comes in: this blend of fit and inspiration is used to refer to any person or thing that motivates you to improve your fitness.

  1. I’m surprised skitching didn’t get in there before now. We were doing that in the mid-’80s, though usually in the snow, without benefit of skis or wheels (just heels). And almost always after drinking, just to make it extra-specially stupid and unsafe. (I often wonder how it is I’m still alive, honestly.)
