Hangry is definitely how we've all felt the morning after a few too many shandies

Some of those aren't even single words, how can they be in the dictionary?

Dictionaries have phrases in and always have. You see a squiggle in the definitions

So, the word with the largest number of column inches in the dictionary is SET. One of the uses will be a noun meaning a fight and it will be a SET TO, written ~ to

It's nothing new.
