The sixth edition of "UCLA Slang" is being published this month and it is just "presh!"
The book is released every four years by linguistics professor Pamela Munro and her students at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
Munro said the lighthearted dictionary is put together using a methodicalprocess that starts with students collecting slang from friends followed by a detailed analysis to make sure submissionsare spelled and defined correctly.
"Students learn a lot about grammar, language and linguistics," Munro said. "You can study anything you want about ordinary language through the medium of slang."
The 160-page English-slanglish lexiconincludes terms, definitions, parts of speech, sample sentences and notes on the etymologyand origin of new slang, Munro said.
The dictionary supplies such words and definitions as "presh," which means cute or precious.
Other terms or phrases include "fomo," or fear of missing out, "schwa" for wow; and "obama," meaning cool, as in "You so obama."
"Bromance" means a close platonicfriendship. And "bellig" means drunk and belligerent.
"Eargasm" means, well, just what it sounds like.
If all this is new, just say "I.D.K." to indicate "I didn't know."
第六版《加州大学洛杉矶分校俚语大全》将在本月出版，这真是太“棒”了！
这本书由加州大学洛杉矶分校的语言学教授帕米拉?孟罗和她的学生编撰，每隔四年推出新版。
孟罗说这本轻松词典的编制过程有一套系统，首先由学生们从他们的朋友那儿收集俚语，然后再对这些俚语进行详细的分析，确保拼写和定义都正确。
“学生们学到很多关于语法、语言和语言学的知识，”孟罗说，“你可以通过俚语学到你想知道的关于日常语言的任何东西。”
孟罗说，这本160页的英语俚语词典包括词条、定义、选段、例句、有关词源的注释和新俚语的来源。
这本词典还包括“presh”这样的词条，意思是“可爱的”或“宝贵的”。
其他的词条或短语还有“fomo”，意思是“害怕失败”；“schwa”，等同于“wow”；还有“obama”（奥巴马），意思是“酷”，比如“You so obama”意思是“你真酷”。
“Bromance”指的是亲密的柏拉图式的友情。“bellig”意思是“喝醉的”、“好战的”。
“Eargasm”的意思呢？就和它听起来的声音一样。
如果这一切对你来说都很新鲜，你可以说“I.D.K.”，表示“我以前不知道”。
生词释义：
methodical:有条理的
submission:提交（物），在文中指收集过来的词。
lexicon:词典
etymology:词源学，语源
