al desko The Oxford Dictionary added "al desko" in 2014, making eating at your desk a little more fun -- maybe.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney)

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.

Hopefully it's enough to spice up that sad salad you're eating out of Tupperware.

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.

Keyboard warrior: Someone who aggressively posts on Facebook or other social media sites.

Digital footprint: The information about you that can be found online.

Duck face: An exaggerated pouting expression, often made for a selfie.

Man crush: The non-sexual admiration one man has for another.

Food diary: A way to keep track of the calories you've taken in.

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