"Vape" and "Vaping" added to dictionary

[DJ Colonel Corn]

Hi vapers.
Just thought you'd like to know....

"Vape" and "Vaping" were just added to the Oxford Dictionary !

For the full story, click here !

One of these is "vape" or "vaping," which describes inhaling smokeless nicotine vapor using e-cigarettes.

Great! Does that mean my spell check will quit subbing cape?

 

[max]

Vape and vaping were around before e-cigs were invented, so the terms are incorrectly attributed. What else is new?

 

[Crohnie]

Maybe now my autocorrect won't keep changing vape and vaping to "cape" and "capeing".

And tape. Drives me fucking nuts.

And, guess what in the hell I'm trying to input when my spellchecker insists on putting in "Verbalizer".

According to a press release from Oxford, research showed the use of the word "vape" more than doubled in 2014 over the previous year.

Not exactly cannabis related, but I figured this was the best subforum for this thread. Hahah

I'm not gonna be happy till they add the word vaked and my spellchecker stops putting in baked instead.

I saw that this morning on my news app! We are sooooo mainstream now...

 

[Deadhead101]

Yeah my friend saw this and told me I was using the word "vape" way before it became cool.

 

[stickstones]

I think this is the third thread here about it.

There was 4! But only 3 at a time... twice.

What about 'vapist'?
I consider myself a vapist. Smoke exhalers are 'smokers', but vape exhalers are vapers? That doesn't sound right.. We are vapists!
Just a shame it's one letter away from being rapist.

 

[z9]

Did someone say rapist?

Seriously though @Vitolo always uses the term "vaporist", he might have actually coined the term.

[lwien]

Flautist or Flutist?

 

[grokit]

'the term flautist is associated with the negative connotations derived from the Latin verb flaut, which means to jeer or mock, which "apparently derives its meaning from the practice of playing a flute to ridicule"'

~ according to zucchinigirl anyways

I feel like vaping does not refer to actual e-cigs, but those mini smoke machines haha.
