"Hikikomori," a word that has come into common usage in recent years to signify the abnormal avoidance of social contact, especially by adolescent males, has found its way into the third edition of the Oxford Dictionary of English published Aug. 19. The word is one of more than 2,000 new entries in the dictionary, whose first edition was published in 1998. The vuvuzela, the plastic horn used to cheer teams during the soccer World Cup in South Africa, also won an entry. (Kyodo News)
