Wah! East Asian words enter Oxford English Dictionary PUBLISHED: 03:22 GMT, 13 May 2016 | UPDATED: 03:22 GMT, 13 May 2016 http://goo.gl/mSfT2y [www.dailymail.co.uk] Words most commonly heard on the streets of Hong Kong and Singapore like "yum cha(飲茶)" and "wah" have entered the linguistic mainstream, with the Oxford English Dictionary including them in its latest update. The terms -- a type of Chinese breakfast and an expression of delight, respectively -- enter along with phrases like "dai pai dong(大排檔)", "ang moh"and "chilli crab" (an open-air food stall, a light-skinned person, and a regional delicacy). Other new entries are "compensated dating", a Hong Kong phrase that refers to a relationship provided in return for cash or gifts, and "Chinese Helicopter", a Singaporean who was educated in Mandarin and has little knowledge of English. The March update to the OED, which styles itself as the definitive record of the English language, includes some 500 new words and phrases from around the world, such as "vlog", "bro-hug" and "Dad's Army". The update brought an "alphabet of newly added terms from World English to explore," said OED senior assistant editor Jonathan Dent. He cited "killer litter" -- a Singaporean phenomenon of rubbish falling from a height -- and "guanxi", the Chinese term for personal connections that help facilitate business dealings. The dictionary records southeast Asian influences on English stretching back to 1555. The list: HONG KONG Char siu 叉燒 - barbecued pork Compensated dating - relationship in return for cash Dai pai dong 大排檔 - open-air food stall Kaifong 街坊 - neighbourhood association Guanxi 關係 - personal connections that aid business Lucky money - cash given in red envelopes Sandwich class - squeezed middle class Milk tea - local speciality Shroff - cashier Sitting-out area Siu mei 燒賣 - type of dim sum Yum cha 飲茶 - type of breakfast Wet market - market for fresh fish, meat and other produce -- 楊過叫道：“說得好！我古墓派……” 郭芙喝道：“你古墓派便怎樣？”橫揮一刀，將楊過的腦袋砍了下來，鮮血直噴。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 61.227.119.35 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Hong_Kong/M.1463125878.A.8C7.html ※ 編輯: Amontillako (61.227.119.35), 05/13/2016 15:51:58
