Oxford English Dictionary :: Quarterly Updates

If you ever needed proof that the English language is marvelously alive with protean vigor, all you need do is take a peek at the quarterly updates of the Oxford English Dictionary. Every quarter, the OED publishes its continuing series of sequential updates (the December update covered ou-overzealousness) and a list of new entries from across the alphabet.

The December 2004 update includes words such as boet, criminogenic, E-day, howzat, killfile, pruno, trackie daks, and zig. No, I don't know what they mean, either. :-)
