New Word Alert: ‘Twerk’ Added to Oxford Dictionaries Online

Its official, ‘twerk’ has caused so much ruckus in pop culture that it has been given the Oxford seal of approval as a valid, English word. So the next time you think of refraining from using the word under ‘formal’ circumstances, by all means go right ahead, for Oxford is with you.
The word which gained even more popularity after Miley Cyrus’s raunchy display of the dance move at the recently concluded MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night has been listed as a verb with its definition given as “dance to popular music in a sexually provocative manner involving thrusting hip movements and a low, squatting stance.” Examples are given as:  “Just
wait till they catch their daughters twerking to this song” and “Twerk it girl, work it girl.”
Twerk joins a list of words which have been added to the Oxford dictionary owing from their influence on social media and pop culture. It would be recalled that a few years ago, ‘bootylicious’ a word made famous by pop singer, Beyonce was added to the Oxford English dictionary (the elder, more official Oxford publication) paving  way for the many additions from pop culture which have been made to the Oxford dictionary in more recent times.
