Transcript
00:00Swifties, your fandom is now officially included in the dictionary.
00:05No way.
00:06This is a big day.
00:07It's such a big day.
00:09In the 2026 winter word drop, Dictionary.com added more than 1,500 new entries, one of
00:16them being Swifty.
00:18If you're unfamiliar with that term, crawl out from under your rock.
00:23But it refers to a fan of the music of Taylor Swift.
00:28Right, of course.
00:31So, Swifty is in there, kind of like Beehive is in there, which is Beyonce's fandom.
00:38Oh.
00:39B-E-Y-H-I-V-E.
00:41Oh, good.
00:41I was going to say, I thought Beehive was in there previously.
00:44Yeah, the other Beehive.
00:45The Queen Beehive.
00:46Queen Beehive.
00:47Yeah, for sure.
00:47And also Trekkie, fans of Star Trek.
00:50Oh, for sure.
00:51Live long and prosper, Don.
00:53I have some other words from Dictionary.com that they're including in this new word drop
01:00that I found interesting.
01:01So, I want to see if you've ever heard them before.
01:04Okay?
01:04Like Glamazon.
01:06Ooh.
01:07What do you think that is?
01:08A Glamazon.
01:09Well, I've heard of glamping, which is like glamour camping.
01:12Yes.
01:13So, you're going camping, but you're really not roughing it.
01:15So, I'm going to say Glamazon is buying on the richer side of Amazon.com.
01:21Oh, that would be smart.
01:24Like there's another website for like higher end shoppers.
01:28Higher end shop.
01:28The Glamazon.com.
01:30The Glamazon.
01:31Yeah.
01:31No, it's a woman who's beautiful and glamorous as well as tall and strong and powerful.
01:36In WWE wrestling, there was a wrestler, Beth Phoenix.
01:40Yeah.
01:40She was known as the Glamazon.
01:42She was gorgeous.
01:43She was ripped.
01:44She was awesome.
01:45So, it's taking from like the Amazon woman who is like known to be taller, stronger, and
01:50then adding with, ah, okay, got it.
01:52Nothing to do with the rainforest, right?
01:54No, no, no, no, no, no.
01:55All right.
01:55How about health span?
01:58Health span.
01:59Health span.
02:00Yeah.
02:00You've heard of a life span.
02:02This is a health span.
02:03How, I'm going to say how fit you actually are, nothing to do with your age.
02:08Interesting.
02:09Your prime.
02:10Your prime.
02:10Yeah.
02:11That's basically what it is.
02:12Oh.
02:12It's the typical period of a person's life during which they are consistently in good health.
02:16Yeah.
02:16When was your health span, Donnie?
02:18Or are you living it right now?
02:19Uh-huh.
02:20Years ago.
02:22Just put it that way.
02:23Like 21 to 25?
02:24I would say yesteryear.
02:26Yesteryear.
02:26Yesteryear.
02:27Okay.
02:28So, health span.
02:28Four score 20 years ago.
02:30Okay.
02:31And then smash burgers in there.
02:33Oh, yeah.
02:33Finally.
02:34Oh, yes.
02:34A good smash burger.
02:35Love it, right?
02:36Which, by the way, is a hamburger with a patty that's cooked by pressing it very thinly
02:40onto the griddle or cooking surface.
02:41Fantastic.
02:42And then one of my favorites on here, purple squirrel.
02:45Purple squirrel.
02:46Have you ever heard this?
02:47Purple squirrel?
02:48No.
02:48I can honestly say I have no idea where you're going with this.
02:51So, a purple squirrel is a hypothetical person that's sought by an employer that has an ideal
02:59combination of temperament, experience, and education for a particular job.
03:04I guess it's kind of like the unicorn, right?
03:08Oh, yeah.
03:08Like that one person that fits the mold.
03:10But instead of calling them a unicorn now, we're calling them a purple squirrel.
03:17I like unicorn.
03:18And unicorn just sounds better.
03:19A purple squirrel.
03:21A purple squirrel.
03:21I know.
03:21It makes me cringe.
03:22No.
03:23A little purple squirrel.
03:23I don't like squirrels.
03:25Squirrels scare me.
03:26Yeah.
03:27Yeah.
03:27No.
03:27All right.
03:28So, go ahead.
