Oxford Dictionaries online adds 'twerk'

Miley Cyrus made 'twerking' famous. The OED put it in the dictionary. (REUTERS/Carlo Allegri)The Oxford Dictionaries online on Wednesday announced its annual additions to its tome. Miley Cyrus might be glad to hear that “twerking” made the cut.

“Selfie,” “bitcoin” and“srsly” are also on the list.

As are the dessert on a stick “cake pop” and “babymoon.” They are now officially things.

Also, "buzzworthy" is in. So are "jorts" (denim shorts), "double denim" (wearing denim on denim, regarded as a breach of fashion etiquette) and "squee" (to exclaim with delight).

The term "twerking" seems especially well-timed, but it's not new, OED spokeswoman Katherine Connor Martin told Reuters.

It's described as "a dance to popular music in a sexually provocative manner involving thrusting hip movements and a low, squatting stance."

"The current public reaction to twerking is reminiscent in some ways of how the twisting craze was regarded in the early 1960s, when it was first popularized by Chubby Checker's song 'The Twist,'" said Connor Martin.

"Only time will tell if twerking will similarly be embraced by the general public," she added.

As the OED explains in a blog post, “The additions may have only just entered the dictionary, but we’ve been watching them for a while now, tracking how and where they are used. Two of the words to make their debut in the dictionary, selfie and phablet both featured on our Words on the radar post back in June 2012.”

Here are some of the new words and their definitions. Study up, there might be a pop quiz soon. Srsly.

babymoon, n. (informal): a relaxing or romantic holiday taken by parents-to-be before their baby is born; a period of time following the birth of a baby during which the new parents can focus on establishing a bond with their child.

bitcoin, n.: a digital currency in which transactions can be performed without the need for a central bank.

buzzworthy, adj. (informal): likely to arouse the interest and attention of the public, either by media coverage or word of mouth.

cake pop, n.: a small round piece of cake coated with icing or chocolate and fixed on the end of a stick so as to resemble a lollipop.

double denim, n.: a style of dress in which a denim jacket or shirt is worn with a pair of jeans or a denim skirt, often regarded as a breach of fashion etiquette.

jorts, pl. n.: denim shorts.

selfie, n. (informal): a photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically one taken with a smartphone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website.

squee, exclam. & v. & n. (informal): (used to express) great delight or excitement.

srsly, adv. (informal): short for ‘seriously’.

twerk, v.: dance to popular music in a sexually provocative manner involving thrusting hip movements and a low, squatting stance.

Nevada brewpub shames patron online for unpaid tab

RENO, Nev. (AP) — A Nevada brewpub irked that a patron left without paying his $100 tab turned to Facebook earlier this week to publicly shame him.

The Brewer's Cabinet in Reno posted a picture of smiling patron Saul Zelaznog on Tuesday, urging users to remind him to pay up and warning other businesses to watch out for future freeloading.

"And, while you're at it, you could tell him that visiting restaurants with your friends, running up a huge bill, roughing up servers and then bailing is pretty uncool ... pathetic, really," the post reads. "Get a life, man."

The post had more than 600 shares on Facebook by Thursday.

Chris Kahl, a co-owner of the Brewer's Cabinet, told the Reno Gazette-Journal he contacted police after the dine-and-dash.

"All his friends paid and left, and he was the last one," Kahl said. "The server needed to collect his money. He said he forgot his wallet."

Other restaurants and bars in the area — including Imperial, Campo and Chapel Tavern — told KRNV-TV they believe they've also been his victims.

When contacted by the newspaper, Zelaznog — who also goes by the name Saul Gonzalez, according to public records — said he had forgotten a method of payment when he visited Tuesday, but planned to return to pay the tab.

He said he was involved in a similar situation at another Reno-area restaurant, where he said he left a "nice watch" as collateral.

"I'm not trying to burn bridges around town," he told the paper. "This is a small little town."

Zelaznog said he was asking relatives to wire him money in hopes of paying the bill by Thursday, although restaurant manager Ed Griggs said the money hadn't showed up by midday.

Doctor stops accepting insurance, lowers prices and posts costs online

A family practice doctor in Maine is refusing all forms of health insurance, including Medicare, in order, he says, to provide better service to his patients.

Dr. Michael Ciampi told the Bangor Daily News that he wants to practice medicine without being dictated to by insurance companies.

On April 1, Ciampi lowered his prices and posted the costs online. For example, an office visit in which patients discuss "one issue of moderate complexity or 2-3 simple issues" costs $75. When Ciampi accepted insurance, the visit would run $160, according to the Bangor Daily News.

The fact that Ciampi lists the prices, he says, means no surprises for his patients.

Say you're an established patient who can't make it to the doctor's office but wish to speak to him over the phone? A 10-minute conversation will run you $20. Each additional five-minute block will cost you $10. A minor surgery, like the draining of a boil will cost between $100 and $150.

Dr. Ciampi told the paper that some patients have left his practice, but that all seem to understand what motivated him to make the change.

Via the Banger Daily News:

Insurance companies no longer dictate how much he charges. He can offer discounts to patients struggling with their medical bills.

He can make house calls. "I’m freed up to do what I think is right for the patients," Ciampi said. "If I’m providing them a service that they value, they can pay me, and we cut the insurance out as the middleman and cut out a lot of the expense."

Ciampi told the paper that he collects payment at the end of each session (he doesn't send bills), and he sees each patient himself. Patients with insurance can submit their receipts for reimbursement, if the insurance company allows for that, according to Ciampi's family practice site.

Up to 80% of the time spent online at work is ' wasted, ' according to study

Almost 80 percent work hours spent online are wasted on quote "cyberloafing" (AFP) are you're reading this article when it is supposed to work.

A new study from Kansas State University suggests that we spend even more time than previously thought browsing aimlessly on the Internet during office hours.
"Cyberloafing" — wasting time at work online — takes as much as 80% of the time people spend online at work, according to data collected by Joseph Urgin-minefield, an Assistant Professor at Kansas State and John Pearson, associate professor at Southern Illinois University.
The results were published in the latest issue of the journal computers in human behavior.
Their findings also suggest that the traditional guidelines surrounding the use of the Internet is not sufficient to police worker behavior, and that if companies really want to downsize the amount their employees time browsing on the Web, they must "constantly apply" sanctions to support their policies cyberloafing.
"We found that for young people, it was hard to get them to think that social networking was unacceptable behavior," said Ugrin. "Just have a policy in place will not change their attitudes or behavior at all. Even when they knew that were monitored, they still didn't care. "
Then again, not necessarily all "cyberloafing" can be measured as a net loss for businesses. 2011 study found that in certain fields, when people spend time casually browsing the Web at work, actually end up being more productive and creative.
The risks for employers go beyond lost productivity. Ugrin and Pearson point out that also poses risks cyberloafing lawyers for companies if their employees are engaged in activities such as viewing pornography or participate in illegal transactions.
Ugrin and Pearson found that waste of time was spent in almost equal measure among the different age groups but that generational differences have been expressed in various ways in which people specifically wasting their time.
"Older people are doing things like managing their finances, while young people are much more acceptable to spend time on social networking sites like Facebook," said Ugrin.
And while the study authors approve tougher sanctions to enforce the conduct of employee and productivity, say employers must maintain a healthy balance so as not to negatively affect Office morale.
"People feel like big brother is watching them, so companies need to be careful when you take these kinds of actions," said Ugrin.
