<div class="IPBDescription">In the Oxford Dictionary *sigh*</div> <a href='http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/europe/08/21/britain.dictionary.reut/index.html' target='_blank'>http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/europe/08/21...reut/index.html</a>

The following words will be put into the next version of the Oxford dictionary, thus enforcing the long standing opinion that the English language has degraded to absurdity and stupidity.

The following words will also be added:

    Uhh, because you want to go place that considers these real words? It's the Oxford English Dictionary - of Oxford University Press, in itself a division of Oxford University.

    Hey wait, if this dictionary is written in England... then.... why don't English people use that type of slang? I never heard a Brit say "Thats Bootylicious ole' chum! Bootylicious indeed!".

    I think its all a conspiracy: Brits write a slang filled dictionary, market it to Americans, then when we are all reduced to reffering to things with explenatives, slang, and acronyms, they will invade! Due to the lack of understanding, communication in the armed forces will be chaotic and disorganized.

    I for one, welcome our new British overlords.... word.
