The BBC reports that the Oxford English Dictionary has added 500 new words for June 2015, including "twerk," a word that has seen use as far back as 1820, when Charles Clairmont wrote that "Germans do allow themselves such twists & twirks of the pen, that it would puzzle any one." The "twerk" spelling was used in 1901.
Other "new" words and phrases include choss, cisgender, depanneur, e-cig, ecotown, fap fap fap, FLOTUS, fo' shizzle, freegan, gimmick ("to mean 'a night out with friends'"), guerrilla ("describing activities carried out in an irregular and spontaneous way"), intersectionality, inukshuk, keener, mangia-cake, meh, SCOTUS, shipping ("the activity of discussing, portraying, or advocating a romantic pairing of two characters who appear in a work of (serial) fiction, esp. when such a pairing is not depicted in the original work"), Special Olympics, stagette, tenderpreneur, twitterati, uncanny valley, voluntourism, webisode, and yarn bombing.

There seems to be a notion among MRAs that cisgendered is a pejorative. This is somewhat true, but only when describing a woman. See my other comment for etymology. The term is threatening to MRAs when it shouldn't be. In fact, I would argue that in the upcoming shitstorm concerning assigned males on the internet, the MRAs would do good to look to trans women as allies. We're all in the same boat here! Don't believe feminism when it claims to support trans women. They hate trans women, and that's where the term cisgendered comes from.
I believe that cisgendered should not be used to describe a man for the reasons I outlined.
There is nothing wrong with being cisgendered or heterosexual. Only the SJWs and their guilt worship believe there's something wrong with it, and they're merely trolling. They really have no fucking idea.
