I especially hate 'selfie' - it just sums up everything that's wrong in today's 'Look at me! Love me!' fake culture.

Put 'bezzie' in too. That's even worse.

I'm surprised to see that "Vom" has apparently only just made it into the OED. It was in common usage with my classmates back in the mid 70s...

I had to google twerking, thought it must be connected with twitter at first.

I do wish Oxford would stop trying to be trendy and 'down wif da kids!'
