The Chinese heated words usually reflectsocial changes and culture, some of which are increasingly popular with foreignmedia. Tuhao and dama, for example, are both old words, but they get differentmeanings now. The word tuhao used to mean rural landlordswho oppress their tenants and servants, while now it refers to people spendingmoney without limits or those showing off all around. That is to say, tuhaoowns money rather than taste. The word dama is used to describe middle-agedwomen. However, it is regarded as a special word to call those Chinese womenwho rushed to purchase gold when the gold price decreased sharply not long ago.Tuhaoand dama may be included in the new Oxford dictionary. Up to now, about 120Chinese words have been listed in it and became part of the English language.
