The Macquarie dictionary is changing its definition of the word ‘shirtfront’ following Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s threat to Russian President Vladimir Putin last month.

From next year, the term shirtfront will have an alternative meaning in the dictionary.

The alternative meaning will be ‘to confront someone with a complaint or grievance’.

Some of the popular suggestions from talkback callers and Neil himself were: ‘Obviously’, ‘literally’, ‘got’, ‘like’ and ‘so’.
