I wouldn't be surprised if furry ends up in there, but anything else would probably be pushing it. Pushing it in fact might make the OED people less likely to take any proposed word less serious and thereby get all of them denied.

Yiff might be OED able, however as it is roughly considered to be porn I doubt it.

As for the original meaning of Yiff any word only has the meaning which we assign to it. This is best demonstrated in the south park episode in which they change Fag to mean Harley Riders or those annoying people who speed up to run yellow lights in BMW's.

Better than that Yanks turned Yankee Doodle Dandy into a favorite tune even though the Brits sang it to mock them.
