I have never heard of that phrase prior to this. Does that mean I am old and out of touch at age 31?

So they'll be able to conduct advanced analysis of all the Japanese jobs that are going to China.

I'm 26, I've never heard this either. Sounds like one of the words 7th graders make up to sound cool.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Never heard of it either. That seems like a random slang to make officially a word. At least put something more common like derp. :awe:

Kids....they just "balls" at the end of any word nowadays.

I've never heard the word in person, but I've seen it online. I also kind of agree with Squirrel. I don't have a a problem with slang or new words making it to the dictionary, but I don't think this one is worthy of being put into print. Online dictionaries aren't a problem; they're easy to add to, but actual print needs some editorial discretion. Putting every transient slang word in print will make the book too big, and have many errors of omission.

Maybe they should have a slang supplement, and the words with staying power can be transferred to the dictionary proper after ten or fifteen years.

Must be a white hipster douche bag thing. I never heard this.
