Hollywood veteran and former WWE Superstar, Dwayne Johnson through the course of his wrestling career had a reputation for being the strongest on the mic. As 'The Rock', not only was he electrifying in the ring, he was also innovative in terms of the words he used while thrashing his opponents.
The series of terms he crafted, that were once only understood by WWE fans are gradually becoming part of the English language. One of such words, Johnson often used to describe the people he was gonna beat up in the ring, 'Jabroni' has now been added in some dictionaries, one of them being Dictionary.com. The website announced that 'Jabroni' has been added to its lexicon.
