New Words in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary

Here's some news from one of those Springfield's which did not win the right to host the world-premier of the new Simpsons movie, see roaddogsroadlog.blogspot.com. Evidently, this is where the Mirriam-Webster dictionary is published.

The fall edition will contain about 100 new words. See if you know what some of them they mean:

1. Crunk
2. DVR
3. ginormous
4. IED
5. Bollywood
6. sudoku
7. speed dating
8. smackdown
9. gray literature


I knew 2, 6, 7, and 8. I guess I'm just not WITH it anymore; retired you know.

1. a style of southern rap music
2. digital video recorder
3. combines "gigantic" and "enormous"
4. improvised explosive device
5. India's motion-picture industry
6. number puzzles
7. a different way of meeting people
8. contests in entertainment wrestling
9, hard-to-get written material

I'd like to add this one, Ripemoffus. Big Oil's continuing efforts to rip off the American public.
