If you used“add oil”to express encouragement or support someone in your spoken English or your homework in the past. Your English teacher would tell you that you were wrong. But now, things are different, the phrase has been added to the Oxford English Dictionary. "Add oil" has been “legal(合法的)” Chinglish as well as "lose face”and “long time no see".

In 2014, the American Urban Dictionary took in a few Chinese Internet popular words such as no zuo no die(which translates into English as “if you don't do stupid things,they won't come back and bite you in the back”),"you can you up, no can no BB”(which translates into English as "if you can do it you should go on and do it, instead of criticizing(批评)others ' work").
