Unbelievable! THIS Is In the Dictionary?
This is how you can tell the English language is alive and well on Planet Earth: We're creating new words. A lot of them. So many that two leading dictionaries on both sides of the Atlantic--the venerable Oxford English Dictionary and Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary--have added new words to their pages. Read this and update your vocabulary.

bad ass: A tough, aggressive, or uncooperative person; a trouble-maker
bling-bling: the wearing of expensive designer clothing and flashy jewelry
