new English word enters a dictionary when it is used by many people and all these people agree that it means the same thing. New words are used in conversation first. One person uses a word, then others pick it up. As a result, its use spreads. The more people use it, the more likely it will be noticed by dictionary editors, or lexicographers, like the people who work at dictionaries like Merriam-Webster or the Oxford English Dictionary .
