Selfie, wazzup, shisapen, factchekken and sukkelseks are among the new words included in the latest digital version of the Van Dale Dutch language dictionary.

As in previous years, many of the words have their orgins in English and in new technology, the Van Dale organisation said.

Prime minister Mark Rutte inspired the new word geluksmachine – happiness machine – which he uses repeatedly as in ‘the government is not a happiness machine’, Van Dale said.

Sukkelsex is defined as sex which is not focused on delivering top performance.
