Some of the words in the new shorter Oxford English Dictionary:
|
|
|
|
Asylum seeker, economic migrant, bed-blocking, and stakeholder pension
|
|
reflect the serious side of life; bunny-hugger (a conservationist or animal
|
|
lover), chick flick (a film appealing to women), gearhead (a car
|
|
enthusiast), and Grinch (a spoilsport or killjoy) are entries in a more
|
|
light-hearted vein. Several entries are testaments to the popularity of
|
|
science fiction, among them Tardis from the TV series Doctor Who, Jedi from
|
|
Star Wars, and Klingon from Star Trek.
