I can see the word "furry" being in the OED, but the definition would have to be very broad and inclusive definition.

As for stuff like feathery, scaly, and especially yiff, I think they are really only applicable within the furry-to-furry discourse. Despite the fandom receiving more and more publicity, furries will always make up a very small proportion of the population, and thus I feel that they have no place in OED.

I should point out that I am relatively conservative when it comes to word meanings and dictionary updates, so I'd be interested to hear what other furries think about this.
