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".

The phrase,“加油（jia you) in Chinese means adding oil into the engine(发动机). Chinese often speak it loudly in games and competitions to encourage players.

Even though the phrase is widely used in the Chinese language, it's always been difficult to come up with a proper way to translate it into English. The phrase is used oil, so after that some people jokingly（开玩笑地）translate it into “add oil”.

Before taking in “add oil”, some other Chinese phrases have been included in the Oxford English Dictionary such as guanxi （personal connections that aid business) and lucky money(money given in red bags). In recent years, the Oxford English Dictionary has taken in other Chinese popular words like tuhao (meaning rich person who comes from countryside) and dama（referring to elderly women).

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").
