If you're studying a foreign language, you'll know that learning vocabulary can often be a painstaking process. After all, there are thousands upon thousands of words, expressions and idioms to learn.
But sometimes, new words appear that can confound even native speakers. Each year, a new set of neologisms is added to the dictionary, reflecting the changing tastes and habits of a nation.
Members of the public were invited to submit new words and phrases to the Collins online dictionary, around 80 of which were chosen to appear in the new edition. They range from slang or colloquial terms, to words describing food, technology or scientific ideas.
