The new words mentioned in the news are:

splendiferous
---  Remarkably fine; magnificent, splendid.

yogalates 
--- A fitness routine combining Pilates exercises with the postures and breathing techniques of yoga.

moobs
---  Unusually prominent breasts on a man (likened to those of a woman), typically as a result of excess pectoral fat

The first citation of "moobs" is 2001, so it means taking almost 15 years to get into OED. I wonder how long it generally takes for a newly invented word to be accepted there and what kind of factors is crucial for the entry. Obviously these are the words people often hear and use in a daily life. 

The coining or use of new words or phrases is technically called "neologism." 

The new entry of the words surely reflects one aspect of changing trends in society. Encounter with new words is always exciting, providing us with one way to look at what is happening now.
