牛津英語在線字典在最新公布的季度新詞詞庫中收錄了表示性感“電臀舞”的“twerking”一詞。字典編纂方表示，在過去12個月當中，美國流行歌手麥莉?賽勒斯憑借“電臀舞”順利躥升至排行榜首位，同時也讓這個詞被更多人熟知。他們指出，雖然很多讀者第一次知道這個詞是通過麥莉?賽勒斯在本屆MTV頒獎典禮上的性感熱舞，但這個詞其實已經存在了20年之久。關于這個詞的起源有許多說法，但因為這個詞最先是在口語中產生的，所以無法確定其真正的起源，最有可能是“twist”或“twitch”與“work”一詞融合后的變形。此次更新的詞庫中還收錄了“selfie”（自拍）、“digital detox”（數字戒毒期），以及“Bitcoin”（比特幣）。

Twerking, the rump-busting up-and-down dance move long beloved on America's hip-hop scene, has officially gone mainstream. It's got the English dictionary entry to prove it.

Britain's Oxford Dictionaries said the rapid-fire gyrations employed by US pop starlet Miley Cyrus to bounce her way to the top of the charts had become increasingly visible in the past 12 months and would be added to its publications under the entry: "Twerk, verb."

Although Cyrus's eye-popping moves at Monday's MTV Video Music Awards may have been many viewers' first introduction to the practice, Oxford Dictionaries' Katherine Connor Martin said "twerking" was some two decades old.

"There are many theories about the origin of this word, and since it arose in oral use, we may never know the answer for sure," Martin said. "We think the most likely theory is that it is an alteration of work, because that word has a history of being used in similar ways, with dancers being encouraged to 'work it.' The 't' could be a result of blending with another word such as twist or twitch."

"Twerk" will be added to the dictionary as part of its quarterly update, which includes words such as "selfie," the word typically used to describe pouty smartphone self-portraits, "digital detox" for time spent away from Facebook and Twitter, and "Bitcoin," for the nationless electronic currency whose gyrations have also caught the world's eye.

Oxford Dictionaries is responsible for a range of reference works, including Oxford Dictionaries Online, which focuses on modern usage, and the historically-focused Oxford English Dictionary, which probably won't be adding "twerk" to its venerable pages any time soon.

The definition: "Twerk, v.: dance to popular music in a sexually provocative manner involving thrusting hip movements and a low, squatting stance."
