So many new words these days ... Have you come across any instances of this? 'mansplaining': a term of derision, where-in a professional female man-hater chooses to be insulted when a man goes out of his way to be helpful.

What about Froyo ( yes, a new dictionary word) why can't they just say Frozen yoghurt? ...is it because they text so much that they can no longer say 2 words together?!
