People speak English in different parts of the world. The
same words can be used in different ways, depending on where you live. People
can also have completely different ways of saying the same thing.
The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) is asking the public to
help it add new words. Editors want to find the regional differences in English
around the world. They want to expand its record of the language.
Last year, the OED, BBC Radio and the Forward Arts
Foundation teamed up to find local words in the United Kingdom. It resulted in
more than 100 regional words and phrases being added to the dictionary. One was
"cuddy wifter", which means a left-handed person.
Now, the OED is widening its search to English speakers
around the world. Eleanor Maier, an editor at OED, said the response has been
great. Editors are listing a bunch of suggestions to include in the dictionary.
These include Hawaii's "hammajang", which means
"in a disorderly state". Another is the word for a swimming costume,
"dookers" or "duckers". It is used in Scotland.
The OED also might include the word
"frog-drowner", which Americans might use to describe a downpour of
rain. Another possibility is "brick". It means "very cold"
to people in New Jersey and New York City.
The dictionary has already found that, depending on
location, a picture hanging off center might be described as "agley".
It might also be called "catawampous" or "ahoo".
"The OED aims to cover all types of English,"
Maier said. That includes scientific words, slang and regional language. Maier
also said that it can be difficult for the OED's editors to identify regional
words. The terms are more often spoken than written down.
The appeal is called Words Where You Are. It is looking for
more suggestions. "We were surprised and pleased by the number of regional
words we were able to include," said Maier.
