About six years ago, actor Alec Baldwin made some news, but not for a role in a new movie or a television appearance. He was removed from an American Airlines flight for playing ‘Words with Friends’ on his mobile phone. Stories from 2011 say Baldwin may have continued playing the game even though he was told to put his phone away. But now, if Baldwin is still a fan of the game, he has a lot more words to choose from. The game developer recently announced it is adding 50,000 words from popular culture. Some of the words include BFF, delish, hangry, bae and bestie. BFF stands for “best friends forever.” Something that is “delish” tastes very good. Someone who is hungry and angry is “hangry.”
