|August 19, 2025
What the skibidi is happening to the English language? ‘Skibidi’ is one of the slang terms popularised by social media that are among more than 6,000 additions to the Cambridge Dictionary this year.
“Internet culture is changing the English language and the effect is fascinating to observe and capture in the dictionary,” said Colin McIntosh, lexical programme manager at Cambridge Dictionary, the world’s largest online dictionary.
‘Skibidi’ is a gibberish term coined by the creator of an animated YouTube series and can mean ‘cool’ or ‘bad’ or be used with no real meaning as a joke.
