The venerable Oxford English Dictionary has added some new
words for us to remember. The dictionary is updated every
three months, and September's update marks the centenary of
the birth of children's book author Roald Dahl. It has added
vocabulary described by another newly added word, 'Dahlesque'.
'Splendiferous',
as we have read in Roald Dahl children's books means full of
or abounding in splendor.
'Yogalates',
a fitness routine combining yoga techniques with pilates
exercises.
'Moobs',
the scourge of older men, is finally defined as unusually
prominent breasts on a man, or a contraction of man boobs
'Gender-fluid'
may sound like leaking, due to too much drinking, however, it
really means a person with a fluid or unfixed gender mental
identity, which can change from day to day.
'YOLO'
is an acronym for You Only Live Once. Sorry, Shirley MacLaine.
