about these new words?
> The Oxford English Dictionary ( OED) is updated four times a year, in March, June, September and December. More than 1,000 new words, senses and sub-entries were added to the OED in September.
> Words originating from Indian English have been added. They include “qila”, which means fort or fortress; and “bada din”, which means a significant day on which a momentous event takes place. > Another recent addition is “fatberg”, a new word that dates only from 2008. It means a large mass of waste found blocking a sewage system, or a lump of cooking fat which has congealed and hardened after being poured down the drain.
> Words not regarded as part of standard English have also been included in the OED. “Worstest” is a double superlative used mainly in representations of nonstandard speech or for humorous effect. The first recorded use of the word comes from a 1768 comedy called Modern Courtship.
> Regional English words have also been added. For instance, a “croggy” is used in some parts of England to describe a ride given to a passenger on a bicycle, sitting on the crossbar or behind the person pedalling.
> The Online Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year 2017 is “youthquake”, which is defined as “a significant cultural, political, or social change arising from the actions or influence of young people”.
> The data compiled by Oxford Dictionaries editors found a fivefold increase in usage of the word “youthquake” last year compared to 2016. There was a spike after the UK elections in June and New Zealand’s elections in September.
