“B” that came in our life last decade
So, change is constant they say. And so are our ways of life. Not only did some gadgets made way to our homes but some words too came hopping in this decade which was completely new to us. So to continue my series here are the words from B that made an entry in our lives.
Bestie
Definition: a person’s best friend.
“Binge-watch”
Definition: to watch multiple episodes of (a television program) in rapid succession, typically by means of DVDs or digital streaming.
“Bookaholic”
Definition: a habitual and prolific reader; a compulsive book buyer.
Bae
The word bae rose to popularity in 2013, and by 2014 it had made the list of Oxford Dictionaries’ shortlist for Word of the Year in 2014. The dictionary defined bae as “a term of endearment for one’s romantic partner” No, it’s not short for babe or baby. The letters actually represent the phrase “before anyone else,” usually referring to the speaker’s significant other.
So with word Gyan, I’m sure you are more informed to check your latest dictionaries and update yourself.
Let’s check out the apps that made way in our mobiles-
BYJU’S
Do I need to say about this wonderful app made for our school-going kids? Educational content, courses for entrance exams, solution sot all topics and a boon for children and parents too.
BYJU’S – The Learning App is the common brand name for Think and Learn Private Ltd., a Bangalore-based educational technology and online tutoring firm founded in 2011 by Byju Raveendran at Bangalore. Byju Raveendran established the company with his brother Riju Raveendran and wife Divya Gokulnath.
B for Blockchain
Blockchain also somehow made its way in finance minister Arun Jaitley’s Union budget speech. The real impact of blockchain, however, will be seen in the next few years. We are still scratching the surface with it.
