The OED also gives the approval to ‘madnsplain’ – ladies you’d better ask a man for a patronising explanation of that word – and BFN – standing for ‘big fat negative’.
牛津詞典還收錄了“男人說教”-女士們你們最好問下男士這個詞語的高級釋義-還有BFN-“big fat negative”(沒有懷孕)的縮寫。

To make it into the revered bible of the English language the OED requires several independent examples of a word being used and evidence that it has been in use “for a reasonable amount of time”.
加入詞典的新詞要有幾個不同的例子,而且在某段時間內要相當程度的引用次數,才能被收入詞典之內。

Before the latest edition, researchers consulted the online parenting website mumsnet in an attempt to find the latest new words coming into widespread use.
在最新改版以前,研究人員訪問了在線親子養育的網站Mumsnet的網站來看下是不是有什麼時下流行的新詞。

Other words and initialisms include: TTC (trying to conceive) BFN (big fat negative) or a BFP (big fat positive), while further down the line parents may try CIO (cry it out) as a means of baby sleep training.
還有其他詞和縮寫包括:TTC(嘗試懷孕)BFN(沒有懷孕)還有BFP(成功懷孕),還有同類的家長們用的CIO(哭個夠)用來作爲嬰兒睡眠訓練手段的詞。

OED Senior Editor Fi Mooring said: “These words reflect personal experiences but many of them also resonate much more widely, even with people who are not parents.
牛津詞典的資深編輯Fi Mooring說:“這些新詞都反映了個人經歷,但是他們的使用人羣卻很廣泛,甚至那些不是爲人父母的人都在用。”

“The distinctive lexicon of parenting maps a whole range of human experience, from immense joy to immeasurable sorrow and, considering its relevance to so much of the population it seemed an underrepresented category of vocabulary in the Dictionary.”
“這些養育兒女纔會理解的獨特詞彙,勾畫出整個的人生經歷,從喜極到悲慟,使用範圍之廣,開闢了詞典分類的一個新的領域。”
