Podcasts about Macquarie Dictionary

Today, we're talking about a new phenomenon that affects social interactions. Phubbing is something we've all likely experienced or done ourselves at some point. The term is a portmanteau of "phone" and "snubbing", and refers to the act of looking at your phone instead of paying attention to someone else in a social situation. It's becoming increasingly common as our reliance on our mobile devices continues to grow. The term was first introduced in 2012 by Australian advertising agency Maccann Erickson, as part of a campaign for the Macquarie Dictionary. The “A Word is Born” campaign was designed to demonstrate that language is constantly evolving and hence having an up-to-date dictionary is important. Where does the term come from? Why do people phub then? How can we avoid phubbing someone? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

The Macquarie Dictionary has crowned its Word of the Year, and it's a mouthful: enshittification. This gem describes the gradual decline of products or services—like streaming platforms or social media—when profit becomes the priority over user experience. The Macquarie editor hilariously called out streaming services for making users pay extra just to avoid ads.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's show had everything: drama, creativity, and a few million-dollar bananas. We kicked things off by dissecting the new Real Housewives of Beverly Hills taglines, and yes, we tried coming up with our own. Let's just say Joel's tagline had a bit too much attitude for reality TV. Then it was straight to spuds—no, not Joel. A business on Shark Tank is cashing in by writing personal messages on potatoes. Yep, they're making a literal hash of the competition! We also revealed Macquarie Dictionary's Word of the Year—enshittification. Don't worry; we broke it down for you, so you can start slipping it into conversations to sound intellectual (and a little cheeky). And now, for the pièce de résistance: Lin Manuel Miranda. We took a deep dive into why he's an absolute genius… sort of. It was more of a Lin-credible, Lin-sane, Lin-tensely hilarious chat about his unmatched creativity and possibly why he's the only person allowed to rhyme “Miranda” with “grande.” If you thought we were done, you're wrong—Lin-derestimating us, perhaps? Meanwhile, someone paid millions for a banana at an auction, proving that art is bananas—literally. We also wrapped things up with a Joel Jivin showdown themed around box office hits. It's a Lin-chanting, Lin-teresting, and wildly funny episode. Listen now before you feel Lin-excluded!  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

US President Joe Biden has announced a US-brokered ceasefire between Israel and the Lebanese militia Hezbollah. The truce will kick in overnight and is scheduled to last for sixty days. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his government would “respond forcefully to any violation” of the deal.In the UK, the owner of Vauxhall has announced the closure of its van-making factory in Luton, putting 1,100 jobs at risk. Stellantis cited UK laws to impose a transition to electric vehicles as part of the reason. The government says it will consult on “flexibilities” to those rules.And the Macquarie Dictionary has a new word of the year. The dictionary's committee describes the word as: “A very basic Anglo-Saxon term wrapped in affixes which elevate it to being almost formal; almost respectable”.

Macquarie Dictionary has announced its Word of the Year for 2024, with 3AW Breakfast host Ross Stevenson only mentioning the word once due to its explicit nature! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Macquarie Dictionary word of 2023: Cozzy LivsOne of Jesus' favourite places, and the disciples on their facesThe issue of authoritya/ Jesus' defeat of the devilb/ Jesus' defeat of deathIf “Cozzy livs” was your word of 2023, let “Because He lives” become your word of 2024Hold up… I don't see it.He is working His authority through you1/ As you go, make disciples: He makes us good news bringers2/ Baptise, and be baptised: We surrender to him (baptism), immersed in body and mind3/ Teach, and be taught: He puts His words into our hearts“To the end of the age”

Our host, Kosta Lucas speaks with Dr Katie Attwell, Senior Lecturer in the School of Social Sciences at The University of Western Australia (UWA). Dr Attwell leads the large interdisciplinary research project “Coronavax: Preparing Community and Government” with colleagues from UWA and Telethon Kids Institute. ‘Vax' was the Oxford word of the year in 2021, with ‘Strollout' being the word of the year in Australia according to the Macquarie Dictionary. The beginning of 2022 then became all about mandates, vaccine mandates being the main flashpoint of public contention. But do any of us actually really know what the term “mandate' really means? We've seen the terms “mask mandate”, “vaccine mandate” and even policy mandate, applied to different COVID responses and settings. But what is a mandate really designed to do, how has it been implemented and is it actually effective as a lever of social policy implementation?

"Publishers were generally from Britain at the time. They tended to turn up their noses and and go for the strategy of just grabbing an already exiting dictionary and shoving a few Australian words in, calling it Australian, and selling it to school kids."

Educated at Lawrence Sheriff Grammar School and Rugby School, he was awarded a travel scholarship and spent a year teaching in Fiji, when he began his research into the dialects of Fiji.  After graduating from Cambridge with an MA in Modern Languages (French and German), he earned his PhD from the University of Hawaii with a dissertation on the history of the Fijian languages. He was recruited as researcher by the Fijian Monolingual Dictionary Project in Suva, which had been recently founded by the American/Canadian actor and philanthropist Raymond Burr.  This project developed into the Institute of Fijian Language and Culture, of which he was Director from 1986 to 2001, being recognized for his service in researching and revitalising Fiji's linguistic and cultural heritage with the award of Officer of the Order of Fiji by the then President Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara in 1999.  In 2001 he accepted a position at the University of the South Pacific, having previously written and taught there the first university course in a Pacific language. He is currently Adjunct Associate Professor in Linguistics and working on postgraduate courses in Fijian in addition to conducting wide-ranging research.  He is author and editor of several books, including The History of the Fijian Languages (University of Hawai'i Press), the Lonely Planet Fijian Phrasebook, Borrowing: a Pacific Perspective (Australian National University Press), and The Macquarie Dictionary of English for the Fiji Islands, and numerous articles in professional journals and newspapers on Fijian and Pacific languages, culture, and history.

The two talk words, talk about pronunciations and dialects between Aussie states between, reveals the people's choice award and the COVID word of 2020, and she may even have saved – or sundered – John's relationship!

Pip Williams' wonderful novel The Dictionary of Lost Words documents the origin of the Oxford Dictionary through the tale of the fictional Esme Nicoll who observes how some words were valued more than others and seeks to rectify it. Sue Butler was Editor of the Macquarie Dictionary for decades, where she oversaw the inclusion of new words. Her new book is the highly entertaining Rebel Without a Clause. Losing the Linguistic plot... Pip and Sue discuss the attraction and fluidity of language, and how dictionaries shape and reflect their times. Chaired by Victoria Purman

《本日俚語》Bogan 傻B、大老粗、沒品味沒文化的人 (n.c)（非常負面，請勿亂用） 《字源》 根據 Macquarie Dictionary 麥覺理字典（澳大利亞最權威的字典）、 Australian Oxford Dictionary 澳大利亞牛津詞典指出： 起源已經完全不可考了。 但是根據澳洲雪梨居民表示，雪梨的本地人對於住在雪梨西方的郊區居民的一種刻板印象。 他們覺得那邊的人就是比較沒那麼有文化， 而那邊剛好有一條河叫Bogan River， 於是就引用Bogan來影射雪梨西方郊區的居民是大老粗。 而BOGAN是自從1980年代開始被廣泛使用並記載， 當時有澳洲有一部sketch comedy（輕鬆小品）的電視劇 The Comedy Company， 劇中的演員廣泛使用Bogan這個字來表示大老粗沒文化的人，所有Bogan就被流傳到今。 《本日例句》 Afte Tom had become the president, all the bogans drove around with flags on their trucks. Tom 一當上總統後，所有傻B到處開車秀國旗。 《單字》 president (n.c) 總統 flag (n.c) 旗子 truck (n.c) 卡車 《英美澳發音》 領聽例句的英美澳發音＋免費筆記，請上Instagram搜尋：English.104

Sitting there waiting for someone to finish being on their phone is not very enjoyable. You are being ignored and not paid attention to. This is phubbing, the combination of being on your phone and snubbing someone. It's happening all over but especially within families. In today's podcast, we are going to go over what you can do if someone is phubbing you and if you are the one guilty of phubbing, we will give a few tips so you can stop it. There is an overarching category to when technology devices interrupt or intrude our lives, this is defined as technoference. It's the mix of technology and interference. This is happening in our families and only getting worse as rings, notifications beeps and vibrations happen more frequently. You are playing with your child and your phone in your pocket beeps or vibrates. You got a message! You have to check it and that is a technoference. Taking it a step further, If you are paying attention to your mobile phone instead of the person you are with, you are a phubber. Phubbing effects our families (including our children and spouses) as well as our friends and people in the workplace. The word phubbing was created by the McCann advertising agency in 2012 as part of a marketing campaign for the Macquarie Dictionary. It means the combination of phone and snubbing. When someone phubs you, you may feel less important, rejected , or excluded and this can have a negative impact on you. It's not a good feeling. Now, the most common phubbing that happens is between partners or spouses. If it is your spouse who is phubbing you, here are a few things you can do to try to reduce it: 1) Have a direct conversation - Your spouse may not even realize that they are phubbing you. Have a phubbing intervention. You may say, "Sometimes when we are together, and even when I'm talking to you. your head is in your phone. I'm being phubbed and I feel like you are ignoring me. Let them know it's not welcomed. 2) Be more entertaining or interesting - You might not like this one but take a hard look at yourself and see if maybe you are really boring. Is the phubbing possibly justified because you are not making any effort to engage your spouse. Ask them to go on a walk, play a game, do something rather than just sitting and wishing they would pay attention to you. 3) Create rules - In our house, we have a rule that there are no electronics at the dinner table. Maybe when you are on a date together, phones are put away and only used to be available for an emergency. Come up with the rules regarding phone usage when together that are realistic and that you both can live by. These tips can help you reduce your spouse's phubbing. But what if you are the phubber? What if you are phubbing your children? If you are, then you are communicating to them that the phone is more important than them. Whether you are phubbing your spouse or your child, there are some things you can do to try to end your phubbing. 1) Reduce notifications - Turning them off is best but I understand this may be too revolutionary of a concept. But is there anything that important that can't wait? You have to know that someone sent you a Facebook or Instagram message? Turning off or reducing notifications can help reduce the temptation to even be on your phone. This can pre-empt the phubbing. You get a message and before you know it, you are down a deep rabbit hole of pictures of classic cars. 2) Ask yourself: Can this wait? - When you pull out your phone, is it really that important? Or are you simply on autopilot, bored, or not even realizing you are doing it? Before you grab your phone, ask yourself if it can wait. 3) Be present - If your spouse or child is in the room and you happen to be on your phone, maybe consider putting the phone down or away. Show them that they are more important than the phone. When you are alone, go for it. But when others are present,

Before 1788, hundreds of Indigenous languages were spoken in Australia. Today, that picture looks very different, but language remains an essential part of the fabric of Indigenous identity. In this special episode of Word for Word, we explore a language with tens of thousands of speakers, as well as some languages spoken only by a handful of people; novelist Kate Grenville tells the story of an unusual First Fleet lieutenant and his attempts to learn the Gadigal language; and we meet a young Indigenous woman in the remote community of Ngukurr, who is determined to keep her grandmother's language alive. Macquarie Dictionary acknowledges the traditional owners of country throughout Australia and their continuing connection to land, culture and community. We pay our respects to elders past and present. We acknowledge the diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, their cultures, languages, communities and ways of life. We acknowledge there are differing usages of the terms “Aboriginal”, “Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander”, and “Indigenous” within Australia, and use these terms respectfully throughout this episode.

Afinal, o que é Phubbing? O Não Me Critica dessa semana traz todos os detalhes sobre esse termo pouco conhecido, mas muito presente em nossas vidas. Phubbing é um termo criado como parte de uma campanha pela Macquarie Dictionary a partir das palavras snubbing (esnobar) e phone (telefone) para descrever o ato de ignorar alguém usando, como desculpa, um telefonema, mensagem ou outros, por meio de um smartphone. Quem já não sofreu ou sofre de phubbing em suas relações interpessoais, não é mesmo? E mais: quem nunca foi o responsável por fazer o mesmo com outras pessoas? Em uma mesa de bar, em um jantar com o namorado (a), com amigos ou, até mesmo, em reuniões de trabalho, os celulares estão cada vez mais na posição de vilões e, às vezes, fica bem difícil de competir. Qual a saída para nos livrarmos da prática do phubbing ou ajudar nossos entes queridos a dar atenção e foco para a conversa olho no olho? Thiago Arzakom, Vanessa Santos, Anna Paula Monsores e Francisco Carbone estão aqui para debater e opinar sobre este tema que é praticado por todos nós e as vezes sem percebermos. Dê o play e ouça nosso programa. Mas nada de praticar o phubbing enquanto ouve a gente, hein!

XH: Hello and welcome to Round Table’s Word of the Week. This week, we’re talking about the word “phubbing.” It’s a really funny sounding word. John: It’s actually a neologism, two words combined into one. The first word is “phone” and the second word is “snubbing” so we come up with the word “phubbing.” XH: 这个词被翻译成低头症，也就是指因为低头玩手机而冷落了旁边的人的一种症状。 John: The term “phubbing” is supposed to mean someone who has the habit of snubbing someone in favor of using a mobile phone so that could be in a restaurant, that could be in a bar while you’re on a date or perhaps even while you’re watching a movie. XH: It seems that everyone is guilty of “phubbing” nowadays, but then where exactly did this word come from? John: That’s actually the funny thing about this word. This isn’t a word that someone randomly came up with and started using on Reddit or Twitter or what-have-you. Instead it was actually created by McCann Melbourne, which is an advertising agency that created the word behind a campaign by the Macquarie Dictionary to describe the habit of snubbing someone in favor of a mobile phone, now we call it “phubbing.” Macquarie Dictionary actually began a “Stop Phubbing” campaign that was designed to bring attention to this word and, of course, bring attention to the dictionary. XH: 和其它自然而然产生的新鲜网络词汇不同，这个词居然是由一个公关公司制造出来的，并且随着这个词汇的推广，他们还开展了一个叫做“停止看手机”的活动。 John: Not so much to do with pubbing, but I think one of the best strategies to deal with people who are, for example, walking on the street or in a subway station looking at their phone and not looking where they’re going, is most people have the tendency to try to walk around them, but I think the most effective way, as like a public campaign to get people to stop doing that, is to not walk around them. Either you can walk right into them, you know, gently, don’t hurt them or get into a fight. Or you just stop where you are and let them run into you. XH: That’s a very interesting idea, John, but I’m not sure how many lawsuits or street fights that will instigate. John: That’s what I’m saying, just do it gently and everything will be okay. The whole point is to remind people to stop doing that. XH: Hmm. Alright and that’s it for Round Table’s Word of the Week.

Even better, am I..or do you think I am? The Macquarie Dictionary defines racism as: "the belief that human races have distinctive characteristics which determine their respective cultures, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule or dominate others." So now the question is are you a racist? You see this term has evolved into more than skin color. It has crossed over into socio-economic related bias also. For example; if you are white, but believe that you are not the same as "white trash" then to ME you are still a racist. The same if you are black living in the burbs, but you think "niggas in the hood" are beneath you. And yes to you hispanics that think you are not the same as a "wet back fresh from the border" you are no better. But sometimes generalizing can be mistaken for racism. To say that black people that live in the projects mostly are living on welfare pimping the system and tend to be lazy, have babies out of wedlock and are prone to commit crime is really not racist. It's a mere fact when you look at the data. If you use the word "cracka" or "nigger" does that make you automatically a racist? If you are white and are suspicious of a group of black males walking toward you on a street corner is that racist? If you think illegal immigrants should be forced to leave America are you one? What about being suspicious of an ARAB boarding the same plane as you? The country is a "melting pot", but the "ING" at the end word "melting" means we are not fully cooked and blended all the way. So let's see where the hearts and minds of the callers are on K-100.
