In other news, the wrestling term “kayfabe” has officially earned its place in the dictionary, courtesy of Merriam-Webster.
The esteemed lexicon recently unveiled a list of 690 newly incorporated words, including “cromulent,” “padawan,” “GOATED,” “zhuzh,” “cutscene,” “non-player character,” “speedrun,” “nerf,” “doomscroll,” “edgelord,” and “microtransaction.”
In the Merriam-Webster dictionary, kayfabe is defined as follows:
1: the tacit agreement between professional wrestlers and their fans to pretend that overtly staged wrestling events, stories, characters, etc., are genuine
broadly : tacit agreement to behave as if something is real, sincere, or genuine when it is not
2: the playacting involved in maintaining kayfabe
