Warning: Do not Manspread Beside a Hangry Man.
That's an important note from the addition of new words to the dictionary.

The act of "manspreading", or sitting with legs wide apart on public transport, is among 1,000
new words to enter the online Oxford dictionary.
OxfordDictionaries.com issues quarterly updates
on current definitions of English words.
Other new entries include Grexit, Brexit, hangry,
beer and wine o'clock and NBD - meaning "no big
deal".
Oxford Dictionaries said the addition of multiple
slang words showed "creative" use of language.
New words and phrases are added to the
website once editors have enough independent
evidence to be confident of their widespread
currency in English.
However, they do not gain an entry into the
Oxford English Dictionary unless there is a demonstration of continued historical use.
According to Oxford Dictionary's language
monitoring service, hangry has seen its usage
increase since 2012, with a spike in April 2014
connected to an American study about low
glucose levels making people cross.
New online dictionary entries
Manspreading - when a man sits with his legs
wide apart on public transport encroaching on
other seats
Bants - short for banter
NBD - abbreviation of no big deal
Hangry - adjective used to show feelings of
anger or irritability as a result of hunger
Grexit and Brexit - the potential departure of the
UK and Greece from the EU
Awesomesauce - to describe something as

Weak sauce - anything of a poor or disappointing

Bruh - describing a male friend
Pocket dial - to accidentally call someone while
your phone is in a pocket

Let's say you could add a word. Which would it be?

Wow. Surprising how the originators of the language're laxing up on it. I've seen multiple instances where whites ask each other "have you ate?" and defended their use of the sentence.

Here you'd get a huge zero if you digress from exactly the way the tutor taught, maybe even some strokes of the cane in addition.
