Whats the WORD?
Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary deemed 100 new words worthy of entrance to their Eleventh Edition. Included is ginormous, which I'm especially happy about so I don't have to feel like I'm making up words when I use this functional adjective.
Some that also made the list include:
Bollywood,
crunk,
smackdown,
speed dating,
and telenovela.
Just in case you were concerned about the legitimacy of these words, you can now safely use them in your vocabulary.
And as a side note, apparently my spell check doesn't yet accept the use of Bollywood, crunk, smackdown, or telenovela. Damn, get with the program!

Yeah, well I'm still angry that MySpace hasn't been entered into the dicitonary. But it's probably in the google dictionary.... so google can rule the world! Hmm, I actually just went to check on that, and it isn't in the google dictionary. seriously WTF?!?!? but it IS on answers.com. answers.com is supposed to be the dictionary for google, but the google people are lazy and so this never actually works. It gets annoying when google whacking. which reminds me, google whacking is a great obsession of mine, but maybe just a tad bit too addictive.
