6. 'TARDIS' Is Now In The Oxford Dictionary
Because why the hell not? It's a real world, is it not? Well, according to the Oxford Dictionary it is, who finally acknowledged 'TARDIS' as a bonafide part of the English language and brought Doctor Who fans one step closer to achieving world domination. And that's what it's all about, right? According to their official definition, the term is used to describe "a building or container that is larger inside than it appears to be from outside" which is spot on, really. 'Dalek' is now a recognised word, too, as 'a member of a race of hostile alien machine-organisms'. So there you go. One day, 'timey-wimey' will be in there, too. You heard it hear first!
