Mostly music on this blog, but thought id try to help expand our vocabulary.....lol!
The latest edition of the Merriam-Webster dictionary, to be released this Autumn has some unexpected additions.
The strangest addition has to be the word, "GINORMOUS". It is a combination of the adjectives "enormous" & "gigantic".
"Bollywood", "sudoku", and "speed dating" are also to be added.
"Crunk", the genre of Southern hip hop is now present in the dictionary.
The folks at Merriam-Webster are also trying to lose their upper class reputation by inserting a word that is used widely in the States but not as much here in Ireland......"Smackdown".
"Smackdown" in the latest edition is defined as "contests in entertainment wrestling".
Check out the rest of the additons in the Autumn.
Only matter of time before "Wow wow wee waa" is inserted.................described as an "expresion of amazement".
Or even the word "Langer"!!!!!! (Frequently used word in Cork, if you're reading this blog outside of Cork and thinking WTF!)
