Experts from Oxford Dictionaries Online said the web’s influence on the English language was increasing. New entries include the words “scareware”, which means malicious computer programmes, “trackpad” (touchpad) and “buttload” (a large amount).
Other new words or phrases in the past nine months include “bloggable”, defined as a suitable topic for blogging, and an “onliner” (an internet user). More commonly used internet words,“cyberbullying” and “cybersecurity”, also appear for the first time.The sinister practice of “clickjacking” (manipulating a user’s activity by concealing hyperlinks) is another net-based newcomer.
