Oxford English Dictionary

This is a reminder that Leyburn Library maintains a subscription to the online Oxford English Dictionary, almost certainly the most important modern English-language dictionary.

Unlike the set-in-stone printed OED, the online form is updated several times a year and Oxford University Press always releases lists of new (newly-acceptable) words and new meanings. The latest additions include, among others:
bling
Lollywood
bada-bing
drive-by
offshoring
liposculpture

If you should want to check on any of these, or other terms, here is our link to the Oxford English Dictionary.
You might notice that the opening screen includes a link to New Words.
