Probably already been posted, but the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) has a added a few new words to their little publication.
You can find the link here.
One of my favorites has got to be the addition of “D’oh”. I’m so impressed. If only I could get them to recognize some of my words (i.e. ignoted, schway).
I guess that’s okay. If I ever have another bad hair day on planet Zog, me and the singletons will shop ‘n’ roll our way over to Bollywood.

Good to know a cartoon can influence our language!
Wonder if there’s a new longest word?
Alcopop, ladette, balti? I’ve never heard any of those words. Wonder if they’re Britishisms…

Pfitz-kokkie and Sheents. That’s what I want to see in a dictionary.
Is this a serious dictionary? One that is perhaps the British equal of the American Heritiage? It sounds more like a slang dictionary to me…
Ehm, the OXFORD ENGLISH dictionary? Heard of it?
An American equivalent does not exist, and perhaps never will.

Oh, and the words will probably not all be featured outside the totally unabridged version.
The OED has a thing about being concise.

Homer Simpson shamelessly ripped off Oliver Hardy.
D’oh is Ollie’s plain and simple!
