Summary/Abstract: This article deals with neologisms adhering to one lexicographic criterion: their absence in contemporary monolingual dictionaries. 150 new lexical units are presented in fifteen thematic areas (e.g. pop culture and art, society and politics, leisure and entertainment). The neologisms encompass terms that are one-word and multi-word; stylistically neutral and symptomatic; domestic and foreign; common and nonce; new in form, meaning, and new in both form and meaning.
