What it means.

A demagogue is a political leader who tries to get support by making use of popular prejudices, as well as by making false claims and promises and using arguments based on emotion rather than reason.

// His opponent called him a bigoted demagogue for demonizing those who don't intend to vote for him.

See the entry >

demagogue in Context

“You need an internal guidance system for making decisions. Without one, your choices become heavily influenced by external forces such as peers, television, and demagogues .” — Tom Muha, The Capital (Annapolis, Maryland), 2 Oct. 2021

Did You Know?

When the ancient Greeks used dēmagōgós (from dêmos , meaning “people,” and -agōgos , “leading”) they meant someone good—a leader who used outstanding oratorical skills to further the interests of the common people. The first known use of demagogue in English comes from the introduction to Thomas Hobbes’s 1629 translation of a text by the ancient Greek historian Thucydides : “It need not be doubted, but from such a master Thucydides was sufficiently qualified, to have become a great demagogue, and of great authority with the people.” Alas, the word quickly took a negative turn; within decades it was being used to refer to someone who uses powers of persuasion to sway and mislead.

What is a fortnight? Taylor Swift's 'The Tortured Poets Department' vocabulary explained

Taylor Swift released “The Tortured Poets Department” on Friday , introducing a new era of artistry for the global superstar. You might need a thesaurus on standby while listening.

Her long-anticipated eleventh album, excluding her “Taylor’s Version” re-recordings, is her most recent release since Midnights, which came out in Oct. 2022.

Swift is infamous for dropping “Easter eggs,” or clues that tell a larger story about her or an album’s concept. This record is no exception.

The album features Swift’s classic poppy and lyrical style, but introduces a host of new vocabulary words, urging listeners to sprint to Google to decode the songs’ meanings.

Music: Taylor Swift's 'Tortured Poets' is hauntingly brilliant, even the 15 surprise songs

What is a fortnight?

The intro track on “The Tortured Poets Department” is titled “Fortnight” and features rapper Post Malone.

Swift sings, “And for a fortnight, there we were, forever running.” A fortnight refers to a period of two weeks. The term’s usage peaked in the 1860s.

When will the “Fortnight” music video be released?

Swift announced “Fortnight” will get a music video in an Instagram post on Friday. The video will be available at 5 p.m. Arizona time on Friday.

There’s a word for that: our dictionary additions for winter 2024.

by Nick Norlen, Senior Editor, and Grant Barrett, Director of Lexicography

It’s 2024, and the pace of language change is as rapid as it has ever been. Our lexicographers are updating the dictionary more frequently than ever, doing the human-scale work of documenting words across the vast spectrum of the always-evolving English language. And wow, the variety is real .

This snapshot of our most recent additions showcases the breadth of terms that have emerged to name the nuances of modern life, including:

• Terms surfaced from the major topics of the day, including economics ( greedflation ), climate ( climate breakdown ), and social issues ( intimate partner violence ) 
• Words for things you didn’t know there were words for ( skiplagging ,  bed rotting ,  range anxiety ) 
• Science terms you’ll encounter in the news ( stellar nursery ,  superfog )
• Newly prominent health and wellness words ( VO2 max ,  prebiotic ,  keto flu ). 
• Fashion words, including terms for industry trends ( slow fashion ,  circular fashion ), aesthetics ( Barbiecore ), and names for types of garments ( shacket ,  shortalls ) 
• And so many more words across an all-encompassing range of the English language ( energy poverty ,  sound bath ,  boobne ).

As usual, this update includes words that are new to the dictionary as well as entries that are newly revised (such as newly added senses of existing words like mid and squish ). Keep in mind that words that are new to the dictionary are not always new to the language (or even remotely recent), but their addition often reflects a prominent place in the lexicon.

As always, all of our dictionary work is descriptive—we describe language as it is really used (not just how we or others may wish it would be used).
 Learn more about how new words get added to Dictionary.com—and how the dictionary works.

Of course, some of the terms in the list below have more than one definition. We’ll highlight just the meanings most relevant to this release.

Girl Dinner. Iván Bravo. 2024.

girl dinner  
 noun.  an often attractively presented collection of snacks that involve little preparation, such as small quantities of cold cuts, cheese, fruit, cherry tomatoes, etc., deemed sufficient to constitute a meal for one.

📝 Girl dinner went viral after TikTok user Olivia Maher used the term in a video in May 2023, possibly shortening an earlier version, hot girl dinner , that often included decadent or youth-maintaining food.

mid 
 adjective. mediocre, unimpressive, or disappointing.

bussin’ adjective. great; wonderful; amazing.

📝 Popular among Gen Z, this term originates in African American culture and is likely based on various senses of bust meaning “to explode,” “to do well,” or “to enjoy.”

The Ick. Iván Bravo. 2024.

the ick noun. a sudden feeling of disgust or dislike, often in response to the actions of another person.

📝 This phrase, popular in dating culture and on TikTok, is thought to trace back to the late 1990s TV show Ally McBeal . The ick is also used as an informal term for an illness, especially a cold or flu.

cheat code noun. a ploy or technique that bypasses traditional methods or rules in order to improve oneself or one’s success.

📝 This more recent sense of the term is an extension of its use in the context of video games, in which it refers to a hidden command, code, etc., used to gain an advantage, such as by advancing levels or enhancing a character’s strengths.

There’s a word for that

range anxiety noun.  the apprehension or fear that an electric vehicle’s battery will run out of power before reaching one’s intended destination or a charging station.

enshittification 
 noun.   the gradual degradation of an online platform or service’s functionality, as part of a cycle in which the platform or service first offers benefits to users to attract them, then pursues more and more profits at the expense of users.

📝 Used in the critical discussion of platforms like TikTok, X (formerly Twitter), and others, this term was popularized by writer Cory Doctorow.

skiplagging noun. the practice of purchasing an air ticket for a flight with a layover at one’s true destination, getting off at the layover point, and skipping the last leg of the flight: a workaround to avoid paying a higher fare for a direct flight to one’s destination.

📝 The verb form is skiplag , a compound of skip , “to pass over,” and lag , “an instance of staying behind.”

bed rotting noun. the practice of spending many hours in bed during the day, often with snacks or an electronic device, as a voluntary retreat from activity or stress.

📝 Despite the negative connotation of rotting , many use this term in a positive way to refer to what they consider a form of self-care. The verb form is bed rot .

pretty privilege noun. an unearned and mostly unacknowledged societal advantage that a person has by fitting into the beauty standards of their culture.

📝 Pretty privilege uses the same construction as  white privilege  and similar terms.

Stellar Nursery. Iván Bravo. 2024.

stellar nursery 
 noun. Astronomy.  a molecular cloud in which new stars are being formed.

📝 The James Webb Space Telescope has captured some stunning images of these star-forming regions, including the one pictured below, named 30 Doradus and nicknamed the Tarantula Nebula.

📝 Coined in 2019 by Canadian geologist Charles William Helm and colleagues based on the Greek ámmo(s) , meaning “sand.”

📝 Coined in 1918 by Australian curator Robert Etheridge, Jr., with the combining form  dendro- , meaning “tree." Its use has replaced that of the earlier term arborglyph .

Barbiecore noun. an aesthetic or style featuring playful pink outfits, accessories, decor, etc., celebrating and modeled on the wardrobe of the Barbie doll. 

📝 We’re likely still fully within the  trend of using -core to form names for niche aesthetics , such as  cottagecore  and  normcore .  

sustainable fashion noun. a genre of clothing and other fashion products intended to reduce negative impacts on the environment through the use of ecologically responsible materials and manufacturing, the promotion of longer-lasting style trends, and the popularization of product reuse.

slow fashion noun.  a movement among clothing producers and consumers that emphasizes eco-friendly, well-made clothing, maintenance and repair of garments to extend their lifespan, and a general reduction of one’s consumption of new clothing items.

eco-chic noun. of or relating to a style, design, or product that is attractive and fashionable as well as eco-friendly and sustainable.

Tommy John surgery noun. an operation to repair a torn ligament on the inner side of the elbow by replacing it with a tendon from elsewhere in the body or from a donor.
