China's new hot word ， “ tuhao ” ， may be in next year's Oxford English Dictionary.The word caught the attention after BBC's recent program on hot Chinese words. “ If its influence continues ， it is very likely to appear on our new list of words ， ” said Julie Kleeman ， project manager with the editing team.

Tuhao has some similarities with the English word “ bling ” ， which refers to expensive clothing or something else.Both the words have existed for long but later took on a new meaning.In Chinese ， “ tu ” means stupid and “ hao ” means rich.It has traditionally been referred to rich people who throw their weight ( 仗势欺人 ) around in China's poor areas.

In recent years ， people borrowed the term to describe those who spend money in an unreasonable manner.The word became more popular in September when the Apple's new gold colored iPhone came out ， which loved by Chinese nouveau riche ( 暴发户 ) ． The color became known as “ tuhao gold ” ．

Although the word is becoming popular we'd better be careful to use it.
