English Dictionary grows hands in hand with that of technology, science and civilisation.  Have you heard about the words “ambush interview”, “popcorn movie” and “ fidget spinner” which are new arrivals into the dictionary.

Ambush interview is a surprise interview, something not prearranged and preinformed in order to assess the candidates' real stuff.

Popcorn movie is an entertaining movie but lacking much artistically or in depth.

Fidget spinner, very popular among college students now, is a flat disc like toy with a central bearing and rounded blades used to spin between fingers for fun.

1. I really didn't expect that kind of ambush interview.
2. Many viewers commented that it was a big budgeted popcorn movie.
3. It's dangerous to buy fidget spinners for your young children.

“It is only when the mind is free from the old that it meets everything anew, and in that there is joy.”
- Jiddu Krishnamurti
