New words! In the Oxford dictionary! So exciting! If there were only a word to describe just how exciting.

Wait, there is ... it's on the list!

Awesomesauce!

That term, meaning extremely good or excellent, is just one of the couple dozen new words, prhases and acronyms added Thursday to the Oxford Dictionaries online version.

The words represent newer terms judged most significant and likely to stand the test of time, according to Oxford University Press.

The additions include terms such as cat cafe, manspreading, onboarding and terms drawn from current events, including "Grexit" and "Brexit," references to the possible exits from the European Union of Greece and Britain, respectively.
