OED UPDATE.

Via this MetaFilter thread, the latest quarterly update of the Oxford English Dictionary is now available. First comes the range of entries must-necessity; if you scroll down below that list, you get the new subordinate entries, the out-of-sequence new entries "from across the alphabet" (includes 0800 number, Amandebele, bazillion, bitch-slap, Brigadoon, and everybody's favorite buggeration, just to sample the first two letters; it ends wonga, yapunyah, Zorb, zorbing), out-of-sequence subordinate entries, and finally new meanings for old words. I'd just like to express my abject worship of the OED, in case I haven't yet. It goes from strength to strength. (Of course, in the beginning Oxford was reluctant to spend a shilling on it, but we'll let bygones be bygones until the next time they do something to seriously annoy me.)
