All new words in Australia's Macquarie Dictionary. Article from The Sydney Morning Herald here.
Some of my favourites:
- Arse antlers: a tattoo just above the buttocks
- Floordrobe: a floor littered with clothes
- Infomania: the tendency to give immediate attention to incoming email and text messages, resulting in constant distraction
- Manscaping: procedure in which hair is shaved or trimmed from a man's body
[There is also
lady garden, whose explanation is probably not suited to such a family-oriented site as the Wibsite.]
Plenty more to view, including Man Flu, a constant subject on discussion on many Wiblogs. [And if you haven't seen the video Rain linked to, take a look.
