Officials plugged into latest online slang

BEIJING - The hottest cyber words of last year have crept into government and Party leaders' speeches, making the coming Spring Festival more "geilivable".

"Geilivable", combining the pinyin geili with the English suffix for adjectives, implies "giving power" or "cool".

Thirty-one provincial officials from the country's 17 provincial-level regions made a ceremonial call on www.people.com.cn on Wednesday, sending greetings to people for the coming Chinese lunar new year, which is only seven days away.
