A Scottish insult describing someone as a scrotum is among the latest additions to the Oxford English Dictionary. Bawbag - slang for ball bag - is one of more than 650 new words, senses and subentries added to the famous compendium. Other newly included Scottish words include bam, bampot and bamstick, which mean someone who is foolish, annoying, obnoxious, belligerent or disruptive. A tube - also spelt choob - is a "stupid or contemptible person; an idiot", and is frequently used as a "disparaging form of address", the dictionary says. Roaster means an "obnoxious, annoying, or otherwise objectionable person; an idiot", according to its definition. Sprag is not dissimilar - meaning a person with an "arrogant, swaggering manner; a boaster, a braggart". There is also bowfing, which means foul-smelling - and fantoosh, meaning fancy, showy or flashy. It is often used "disparagingly, implying ostentation or pretentiousness". Geggie means a person's mouth - used to tell someone to "shut your geggie".

Rooked means swindled or fleeced.

Bidie-in - someone's cohabiting partner, is also new, as is jotter, which means to get one's jotters and be dismissed from work. Away from Scotland, more universal additions include hir and zir, which are used as alternative pronouns to him, his or her, and peoplekind - an alternative to mankind. Misgender, misgendered or misgendering is when someone is addressed using a pronoun they do not identify with. And for dog lovers there is dorgi - a cross between a dachshund and a corgi - and puggle, a pug and beagle cross.

What does "bcc" mean?

Question

What does "bcc" mean?

Answer

On October 12th, I answered a question about the meaning of the abbreviation cc. This abbreviation, which stands for carbon copy, is used in email headers to show other people that the message is being sent to, in addition to the main recipient. (For more information about carbon copies, please see the October 12th Ask the Editor post.) Allyn, from the Philippines, has sent in a follow-up question about the meaning of bcc, which is another abbreviation used in email headers. Like cc, the abbreviation bcc comes originally from business letters typed on paper. It stands for blind carbon copy, and it is used to indicate people who will receive copies of the message in secret, or without the knowledge of the other recipients. In the sample header below, the email is going from me, Jane Mairs, to Alex Williams, the main recipient. Jenny Bixby and Joe McVeigh are listed in the cc line and will also receive copies. Bernard Seal, whose name appears in the bcc line, will receive a copy, too, but none of the others will know it.

I hope this helps.
