Cape Town - Next time you're at a party, 'twerking' in your 'jeggings', you should 'photobomb' your 'papsak'-drinking friends 'for shizzle'.

While much of that sentence may seem completely alien to anyone who finds themselves outside the realm of ever-evolving slang, it's actually completely legitimate, according to the latest quarterly update of the Oxford English Dictionary.

According to an AFP report, 500 new words have been added to the dictionary, including those mentioned above as well as other modern gems, such as 'twitterati', 'webinar', 'yarn bomb', 'bae' and 'voluntourism'.

As smoking becomes ever more pase, it's no surprise that 'vape' has been named word of the year.

Now while we're not sure how we feel about any of these being acknowledged by the OED, we are pretty over the moon about the inclusion of a few legendary South African words.

SA People reports that no less than five proudly SA terms cracked the nod for inclusion, most of which have been floating around in the local lexicon for many years.

They are:

Papsak (n.)
