Words that should be in the OED
I’ve had this as a blog on MySpace (yes I know, don’t ask) for some time and several people have mentioned that it ought to go on here to get the word out. Ha! Get it?
So here goes, a list of words that should be in the Oxford English Dictionary but aren’t. Some have been contributed, some plagiarised, others heard or made up due to a particular need, whatever, I love them all, find a regular use for some and recommend them all to the book.
- Cashtration
- The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period of time.
- Ignoranus
- A person who’s both stupid and an a**hole.

My favorite thing about this site (besides having found it by link from iconbuffet) is that the OED is referenced. This is not called something mundane like “words i made up” or whatever it’s called when people send things like this around in emails!! The Geek in me LOVES it.
