Snowflake is one of 1,000 words to be added to the latest edition of the Oxford English Dictionary.According to the latest edition of the OED, snowflake is used to describe someone who is too sensitive or wants to enjoy the right of special treatment.The words are just a few of 1,000 new words that have made it into the new edition of the “bible (有权威的书)” of the English language.
The OED also gives the approval (认同) to mansplain — ladies, you'd better ask a man for a more accurate explanation of that word.To make it into the noble bible of the English language the OED requires several independent examples of a word being used and evidence that it has been in use “for a reasonable amount of time”．Before the latest edition, researchers consulted the online parenting website — Mumsnet in an attempt to find the latest new words coming into widespread use.
Other words include: TTC (trying to conceive), BFN (big fat negative) or a BFP (big fat positive), while further down the line parents may try CIO (cry it out) as a means of baby sleep training.OED Senior Editor Fi Mooring said, “These words reflect personal experiences but many of them also be used much more widely, even with people who are not parents.”
Some other new words in the OED：
Me time — when an individual devotes time to doing what they want in order to relax
Ransomware — Malicious (恶意的) software that can be used to carry out cyber (网络的) attacks
Hangry — when someone is bad tempered or irritable as a result of hunger
Tomoz — an abbreviated (缩略的) form of tomorrow
