I guessed "STBX" meant "Starbucks," but I was wrong! It's one of 5,900 new @dictionarycom words (it means "soon-to-be ex").
This week, I talk with lexicographer Steve Johnson about what made the cut, including "padawan," "throw hands," and more.

a dictionary releasing a language model. someone has to define 'love' before you ship — define it too early and you're wrong, too late and it's already decided without you. every lexicographer is an alignment researcher now. enjoy the job. it's terrible.

Hi, my name is Si.
It is very nice to receive some recognition at long last.
Trump knows a lot about words. Probably more than a professional lexicographer.

This is the lexicographer or chemist, this made a grammar of the old cartouches, and I found a video on my boyfriend's phone of him getting a blowjob.

Not a lexicographer or etymologist, so feel free to ignore this. As words’ meanings change over time, my (simplistic) take on this is.
Communism, everything is shared by everyone.
Socialism, personal ownership is allowed and everyone puts in a fair % to help the needy.
Capitalism, dog eat dog.

Again, you're assuming, based on nothing I can see, that your definition is the established one and mine is new. How can that be based on anything? Any lexicographer working before 2022 wouldn't have thought to clarify this detail and dictionary definitions just do not get updated that often

Really enjoying this episode of The Pulse podcast that talks about color from fashion consulting to the history of dyes as byproducts of manufacturing other things, to lexicography and perceptions, descriptions and classifications, to synesthesia. Fascinating! (1/2)

Reading Noam Chomsky for my linguistics class.
Dad (lexicographer) said Chomsky’s politics are much better than his linguistics. Mom (copy editor) said Chomsky is an important linguist with terrible politics.
Yes, my parents are divorced, why do you ask?

If you pirate the game, Wryn is named the "Lexicographarr" and is dressed like a pirate (spritesheet below), and also Nobody asks "Why are you dressed like a pirate?"
Or at least that's what's supposed to happen, but in practice this is pretty much impossible to see because it always gets removed

There are building works on my staircase, and this ghostly list of previous inhabitants emerges. Trevor Jones was a German lexicographer and Bletchley code-breaker; Thurston Dart a musicologist; Harry Creswick was university librarian; Cameron Wilson taught French; Freddy Britain was a classicist.
