Question

    Chipa new hot word,tuhao,may be in next year9s Oxford English Dictionary. The word caught the attention after BBC’s recent program on hot Chinese words. ” If its influence (影 响) continues,it is very likely to appear on our new list of words," said Julie Kleeman,a project manager.

   Tuhao has some similarities with the English word M bling" , which refers to expensive clothing or something else. Both the words have disappeared for long but later had a new meaning. In Chinese, " tuM means stupid and ” hao” means rich. It refers to (指的是) rich people who throw their wealth around in China's poor areas.
