<p>What’s in a Word? A Chinese Dictionary Updates<br />

<p itemprop="articleBody">The new entries include weixin (微信), or WeChat, the hugely popular social messaging service operated by Tencent. There are also some older words recently revived and repurposed for contemporary use, such as <a href="http://sinosphere.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/10/15/yet-another-way-to-mock-chinas-new-rich/">tuhao</a> (土豪), literally translated as tu, or “dirt,” and hao, or “despotic.” Commonly used in the 1930s to refer to local tyrants, tuhao today derides a new privileged class that has emerged in China: people who are “extremely wealthy but lacking in education or values,” according to the dictionary’s definition.<img title="More..." alt="" src="http://u.osu.edu/mclc/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gif" /></p>
<p itemprop="articleBody">But why did weixin and tuhao make the cut, while other, seemingly equally popular terms were shut out? Not admitted to the new edition were such words as diaosi (屌丝), literally “silk penis” but meaning “loser”; shengnü (剩女), or “leftover woman”; shengnan (剩男), “leftover man”; and baifumei (白富美), meaning “white, rich and beautiful.” <a href="http://u.osu.edu/mclc/2014/09/01/updated-dictionary/#more-2487" class="more-link">(more…)</a></p>
