Which new English word will you add to your vocabulary?

[purplepoppy]

The Oxford English Dictionary has been updated for September and added words from all around the world. (English likes to borrow words) To qualify, words need to have been in common usage in English for some time.

Here is a small collection of new English words, but which will you add to your personal vocabulary.

Poody: meaning to sulk. a boomerang word, pout (English)- pwdu (welsh)- poody (back to English). "Trumps having a little poody."

Cooish: from Manx, meaning a friendly chat. "Mary popped in for coffee and a cooish."

Bobolee: From Trinidad, an effigy that's dragged through the streets and beaten up.

Bench: From Uganda, meaning to be in a casual sexual relationship. "John is benching several women"

That doesn't sound anything like New England... They're all like... I wanted some cold cuts, so I searched up a place on the internet and there was this naked chowderhead riding a swamp donkey on the rotary right in the middle of mud season. Guy had a lot of meat if you know what I mean, but I'm just looking for a grinder with some hots. This friggin' guy. What a fag.

I don't like the addition of bench since it already was a word. Like is John the coach of a women's soccer team and sending half of the team to the bench? Is he that weird gym bro that likes to flex by bench pressing people? Or now, is he having several flings?

@purplepoppy The Sexual BENCH is the Spanking Bench. Have you ever been there? Ouch

Not being British, I'm not sure my opinion to be valid, but still, I have a wee spot for "bench", because it sounds well and how visual the image can be. Just think of two lovers kissing while sitting on a bench together ;0)

I've never heard those words probably no one will use them but people who will be leaving Europe soon anyway.

[DrPepper12]

Those are great!!

So are these Scottish monikers for the Fascist Felon!

[DryGermanGuy]

What, no new German words added? 🙁

[purplepoppy]

Not according to news reports. Besides English is just messed up German anyway.

English words? That sounds like an islamophobic thing to promote given you live in the UK. I'm surprised they aren't making you write in chicken scratch at this point.

[noohair]

American or Lime English?

[purplepoppy]

Both
