Publisher Collins said it was "blown away" by the number of entries received for its online resource, after inviting all English-speaking members of the public to become "word-spotters" and suggest new and emerging words for inclusion.
A total of 86 were chosen and can be seen at www.collinsdictionary.com.
The site was launched last year and is based in Glasgow, where Collins English Dictionary print editions and other best-selling reference titles are produced.
