Twitter accounts track words new to The New York Times

These words could be coarse (“shithole“), bewildering (“mafroukeh“) or oddly poetic, if poetry were written by robots (“cryptotulips“).

Whether you’re a doddering graybeard or a millennial who can’t order a latte without dropping the F-bomb, perhaps you share the sense that it’s hard to track all these newcomers to our once-prim newspapers.
