Kadi sits down with Fiona McPherson, Executive Editor in the New Words team at the Oxford English Dictionary, for a behind-the-scenes look at how the OED keeps up with an ever-changing English language. From playful slang to pandemic vocabulary, they explore what it really takes for a word to make it into the dictionary... and why some never do.
