slang are not in the dictionary ? urban dictionary is a reference for everyday English ?

Question

Answer

People coin new words every day, especially online.  I've not seen "germaphobe" but it's an example of a made-up word.  The meaning is clear but the word may never become popular.

If I published an article online with the word "workaphobe" (a person who is afraid of work), I could not really expect Oxford to publish it any time soon!

Answer

We Americans tend to make up words at the drop of a hat, so many of our expressions may not appear in the official dictionaries of the literary world.
