If you are a Star Wars fan, you will love that this was added to the dictionary. For those who do not know, padawan means,

"a young person especially when regarded as naive, inexperienced, etc."

Bingo Card

It defines as

Simp

Nothing wrong with being a simp. However, I never thought it would be added to the dictionary.

Merriam-Webster defines 'simp' as,

"to show excessive devotion to or longing for someone or something."

Goated

Merriam-Webster defines GOATED as an adjective:

"considered to be the greatest of all time."
