"Crack Ho" and "Hoochie" Added To Oxford Dictionary

NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) -- Hip hop-based words have entered the vernacular of many English speakers and now they have found their way into a prestigious dictionary.

More than 2,000 new and revised word entries have been added to the online edition of The Oxford English Dictionary and a small contingent of them come from the P. Diddy and Eminem arena.

For example, the word "benjamin," meaning "a one-hundred dollar bill" and more generally, "large sums of money" made its way onto the list.

Other hip-hop words that were added:

-- "Hoochie," which means "a young woman who is promiscuous or who dresses or behaves in a sexually provocative or overtly seductive manner."

-- "Thugged out" is defined as "resembling a thug in dress or behavior, tough-looking."

-- And finally, the dictionary editors have added "crack ho," which is defined as "a prostitute addicted to crack cocaine."

Dictionary spokesman Jesse Shiedlowe says he expects a lot more hip-hop words to be added in future editions of the dictionary as long as the music genre continues to stay popular.

Corrinne will love this post. She always wants to be up on the slang.

Hip-Hop has alot of influence.

Can't go into it here, but having a teen, and hearing this music there's much debate over the words used by "minorities" right in the music, but not politically correct to be said by anyone else. Awwww. I'll just get riled up.

Thanks cynical.

a "holla back" girl is a girl you call for a "booty call", ie, just for sex, and she comes running, gives it up, and then the guy basically has nothing more to do with her, except for that.

Two teens of my own.....LOL
