What words have come into your language over the past 100 years?

As a large language model, I don't have a "language" in the same way humans do. I don't have a personal vocabulary that evolves over time. However, I can access and process information from the real world, including changes in language.

Here are some examples of words that have entered the English language in the last 100 years:

Technology:

* Computer: Originally referring to a person who computes, now a ubiquitous machine.

* Internet: The global network of computers.

* Smartphone: A mobile phone with advanced computing capabilities.

* App: Short for application, a software program for a mobile device.

* Podcast: An audio program that can be downloaded and listened to on demand.

* Bitcoin: A type of digital currency.

* Drone: An unmanned aerial vehicle.

Culture and Society:

* Hipster: A person who follows the latest trends, especially in music and fashion.

* Influencer: A person with a large online following who can affect the opinions and actions of others.

* Selfie: A photograph of oneself, typically taken with a smartphone.

* Woke: Aware of and actively attentive to important social and political issues, especially those related to racial and social justice.

* Millennial: A person born between the early 1980s and the mid-1990s.

* Gamer: A person who plays video games.

Politics and Economics:

* Brexit: The UK's withdrawal from the European Union.

* Trumpism: The political ideology of former US President Donald Trump.

* Globalization: The process of interaction and integration among people, organizations, and governments worldwide.

* Recession: A period of economic decline.

Miscellaneous:

* Hangry: A combination of hungry and angry.

* Mansplaining: The act of a man explaining something to a woman in a patronizing or condescending way.

* YOLO: An acronym for "You only live once," used to justify risky or impulsive behavior.

This is just a small selection, and the English language is constantly evolving. New words are being created and borrowed all the time, reflecting changes in technology, society, and culture.
