閃孕 (shan3 yun4)
quick pregnancy
It refers to some white-collar women who get pregnant in a hurry to avoid being fired. China’s labor law prevents a company from firing a pregnant employee unless the company is insolvent.
閃孕，即突擊懷孕、將“生子計劃”提前，是一些白領爲躲避經濟危機中的裁員風險，突擊懷孕。根據勞動法規定：女員工在孕期、產期、哺乳期間如果被裁，可以申請勞動仲裁，要求單位經濟補償。這就是職場女性突擊懷孕的最大理由。
躲貓貓 (duo3 mao1 mao1)
hide-and-seek
The Chinese term for “hide-and-seek” has become a buzzwordovernight among Chinese Netizens after a 24-year-old man died in police custodyin south China’s Yunnan Province and an official report said he ran into a wall blindfolded while playing hide-and-seek with inmates. Unconvinced, a large number of Netizens are taking part in an investigation into the young man’s death. The investigation showed he was beaten to death by inmates while playing the game.
“躲貓貓”意爲捉迷藏，屬南方方言，北方則稱作“藏貓貓”。不管“躲”還是“藏”，這種遊戲顯然來自於貓和老鼠捉與被捉的遊戲。當這個遊戲發生在2009 年2月8日下午的雲南省晉寧縣看守所裏時，卻引發了一場悲劇：據當地警方說，因盜伐森林被拘押的24歲男子李喬明，和同監室的獄友在天井裏玩“躲貓貓”遊戲時，遭到獄友踢打併不小心撞到牆壁，導致“重度顱腦損傷”，送醫四天後不治身亡。

vishing
This is a portmanteau by blending "voice" and "phishing" and means an attempt to fool a person into submitting personal, financial or password data either by sending an email that includes a scammer-controlled phone number, or by spoofing an automated phone call from a financial institution using VoIP.
網絡釣魚案件的不斷增多使得人們逐漸提高了警惕，現在，大多數用戶在看一封來歷不明的電子郵件時通常會充滿懷疑，但是，人們卻通常很容易輕信打來的電話。
對電話的信任，其實體現了人們對傳統交流方式的認可。其結果就是，基於VoIP的語音釣魚詐騙攻擊不斷增多，而且資料顯示，其成功率比電子郵件方式的釣魚詐騙要高很多。
