Hong Yang (洪洋) Posted November 4, 2007 at 01:42 PM Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 at 01:42 PM Not sure if anyone has posted about this already??? I've recently heard about the addition of some new slang words into the standard Chinese lexicon following some research conducted by CASS and the Ministry of Education. There were articles in some of the expat rags including Time Out and China Daily. The articles only listed a few of the total 171 new terms, such as 断背, 车奴 and 丁宠家庭. But I haven't been able to find the rest of them. Does anyone know where a comprehensive list can be found? Many thanks 洪洋 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

889 Posted November 5, 2007 at 07:30 AM Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 at 07:30 AM Interesting list but meaningless, to me at least, without some sort of definitions. Here's an explanation of the terms on another forum: http://bbs.chinadaily.com.cn/viewthread.php?tid=575910 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
