Pretty interesting! I saw it and instantly thought of Staci asking on Facebook "What's twerking"?

Pretty interesting! I saw it and instantly thought of Staci asking on Facebook "What's twerking"?
I've Been Frosted
What of the listed words did you not know? I knew "twerking" long before this latest incident, and never thought jean shorts needed a new word to describe them - I think "jorts" sounds too close to "jarts" the lawn darts game ...
I've Been Frosted
The only ones I knew were "grats" -- because of college students in my family; and "BYOD". I didn't know twerking till we talked about it on facebook. My nieces use "adorbs" a lot -- why they can't just say the entire word I don't know. I guess we have to shorten everything to fit it into a 140-character tweet or onto a smartphone screen. What has happened to the English language? I don't get it.
Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.
I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!
Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!
"That's the power of kittens (and puppies too, of course): They can reduce us to quivering masses of Jell-O in about two seconds flat and make us like it. Good thing they don't have opposable thumbs or they'd surely have taken over the world by now." -- Paul Lukas
"We consume our tomorrows fretting about our yesterdays." -- Persius, first century Roman poet

The good thing is English is flexible - and I am guessing in 5 years, adorbs will be completely passé! But at least we English speakers add and drop words, and do not try to keep everything new out! I was also relieved to read that this is just for the online dictionary, these words have not yet necessarily made it into the OED!

Godspeed Phred and Gini you will be missed more than you ever know..
English is changing in real time, because of texting, tweeting, etc. History will judge the quality of the change, but my late grandmother certainly would not approve!
I've been finally defrosted by cassiesmom!
