The Oxford English Dictionary added "al desko" in 2014. It can be used as an adjective or an adverb and is kind of a cruel play on the Italian term "al fresco," meaning in the fresh air.

Quiz: Are you a workaholic?
The dictionary added many new words in 2014. Here are some of our favorites.
LOLcat: In case you hadn't heard, it refers to pictures of cats you find all over the Internet accompanied with funny captions, typically with misspellings and incorrect grammar.
Five-second rule: It makes people feel better for eating food that's fallen on the floor. This rule says it will still be uncontaminated if it's only been five seconds.
Mahoosive: Exceptionally big.

Duck face: An exaggerated pouting expression, often made for a selfie.
Man crush: The non-sexual admiration one man has for another.

Some abbreviations also made the cut: Jel, for jealous; xlnt, because excellent is way too long; and IDC, meaning I don't care.
