Thanks to every selfie you took between 2005 and today, "duck face" has finally been added to the venerable Oxford Dictionaries.

It's joined there by 999 other popular words and phrases from the pop culture lexicon, such as "lolcat" and "five-second rule," known and beloved by anyone who has ever dropped a perfectly good piece of candy on the ground.

The update come just weeks after Oxford Dictionaries, part of the Oxford University Press, announced its choice for 2014 word of the year: "vape." The editors defined the word as a verb ("to inhale and exhale the vapor" produced by an e-cigarette) and a noun (referring to the e-cigarette itself).

A few of our other favorite new additions to Oxford include:

Al desko: While working at ones desk in an office (with reference to the consumption of food or meals).

Jel: Jealous.

IDC: I don't care.

Canadian tuxedo: A denim jacket worn with a pair of jeans.
