Have you ever seen the whole thing? What most people see is only the Shorter Oxford Dictionary, which is just two volumes, each the size of your standard Webster New World Dictionary that you probably have in the local library. The full OED is twenty some-odd volumes and over a hundred twenty-five pounds.

I wonder if the dictionary still has gadzookerish words like "lanthorn", "prithee" and "wellaway".

When does "old- school" make it?

Fortunately, in a few years - say 15 or 20 or so - words like "bling-bling" and phrases like "yo wassup gee??, and "you feel me dog?" will sound just as dated and ridiculous as "jeepers" and "wow, that's really groovy man" do right now.

Sadly enough I have a co-worker who talks like that. On the brightside we call him "Funboy" and have trained him to respond to that name. Even better, you wouldn't believe how much mocking he takes at my work, especially since the time my GF kicked his ass.

Say, do you want it to be a threesome with your wife? Or a foursome with your wife and sister-in-law? I'm up for either. :P

just fear the day any type of 1337 5p34|< makes it in.
Everyday I beat my own previous record for number of consecutive days I've stayed alive.
