Le lundi 13 mai 2024, le Little Robert has revealed a preview of the new features that will characterize its 2025 edition, which will be available from Thursday May 16, 2024.

Among these contemporary terms, we can cite “tiktok” designating a person broadcasting their own videos on TikTok, “climaticide” which, through its massive CO2 emissions, contributes to global warming, or even “chip” which were added along with words like “decolonialism” or “descend”which are symbols of current identity reflections.

Additionally, the introduction of terms such as “kimchi”a traditional Korean dish made with chili peppers and fermented vegetables, “chimichurri”a South American condiment made from chili peppers and “portobello”a species of mushrooms in this update, demonstrates the richness and variety of modern culinary flavors.
