The Iraqi's taught me the Brit's word "wanker".

Wonder if that one is in there?

The publishers said they have added almost 6,000 new words and phrases...

That's a lot of words to add...
I wonder how many old ones they've cut out.

Who is making up all these crap words???? Do we really have to accept all this nonsense and put it into the dictionary? I guess we are a society that can't stay focused too long without having to interject "new" words to spice up the vocabulary. Some I can understand - the rest are just garbage which will soon pass into the "groovy" past.

If the jewelry is really shiny do you call it 'double good bling-bling'?

How long will it take before the words "FReep, FReeper, and FReepmail" make the dictionary?

They've been around longer than this stupid "bling-bling" nonsense.

And J.R.R. Tolkien's fictional world in "The Lord of the Rings" is also recognized. Orcs are defined as "members of an imaginary race of ugly, aggressive human-like creatures." The dictionary says the word probably comes from the Latin orcus meaning hell, or the Italian orco, meaning monster.

The new dictionary's here! The new dictionary's here! We ARE somebody!

But what do they mean "fictional?"

Did 'schwing' make the cut? Or is that yesterday's slang?
