As you like it! There is a lot going around in the media of food "vocab" . "Moolicious" must be advertising for some yummy cow related products - beef, milk, ice-cream...? Another one is EGG-cellent...LOL! Seeeeee… you can reconstruct any word as long as it can be pronounced and makes sense. As you like it!

Ya lor ... soft and I ... how could that be?! G – Ah, I learn something new today – the “dagger stare”.

I know there are constantly words that are put into the dictionaries and I remember reading somewhere that the word 'subprime' is one of the words-of-the-year. Some words have added much colors to our modern vocabulary. Such as 'Google' is now often used as a verb. And soon, 'Facebook' too.

Many acronyms have been self- and re-constructed by heavy SMS usage ? Just ONE example. And every industry/sector has its own jargon too. Plus, the flowery language used in blogs :P ....eg in food vocab...there are words delish (short form of delicious), yummilious (yummy + delicious)...hahahha...they are used by cooks on US TV and I picked it up there! There is even EVOO - which meant Extra Virgin Olive Oil...used by cooks so often that it was put in the dictionary (forgot Oxford, or Webster) only very recently. It's like new words being formed. Rather, looking it from another angle, technology might have created new words and new generation communication. Evolution of some sort or what, I don't know!
