‘NSFW’ and ‘infographic’ among new words added to Oxford Dictionaries
Language traditionalists, your head is about to explode. Oxford Dictionaries Online added some new words. Take a look.
Oxford Dictionaries Online added a mess of new words, many of which are abbreviations related to the Web. The list features:
• Newb
• NSFW
• Twittersphere
• Permalink
• Infographic
• Unfollow
• ZOMG
And my personal favorite:
• Nekkid
Yes, that word means what you think it does: naked, which means Oxford Dictionaries Online has added an alternative spelling for the word.
