Word Spy, or “The Word Lover’s Guide to Modern Culture” by Paul McFedries, defines itself as a “site dedicated to recently coined words and existing words revived into modern usage.”.
In fact, this research reveals an unexpectedly sophisticated point of view over reality.

Look, for example, expressions as :
type-in traffic, or acoustic snooping, or ICE-number.

Or, last but not least, retrosexual:
“A man with an undeveloped aesthetic sense who spends as little time and money as possible on his appearance and lifestyle.”.
