"Vape" has been chosen as the Oxford dictionaries' 2014 word of the year, due to the growing popularity of electronic cigarettes. Use of the word — which can be used as both a verb and a noun — more than doubled in 2014 over the previous year, according to research conducted by Oxford dictionary editors. “Vape” beat out the likes of "bae," a term of endearment for a romantic partner, and "budtender," someone who serves customers in a cannabis shop, to claim the 2014 title.
