Here are the latest additions to the Oxford Dictionary of English, many of which will be familiar to the blogreading crowd. I'm more than a little shocked that a piece of 1930s slang like "eighty-sixed" is just now qualifying - either the term is back in vogue, or it's one heck of an oversight - and rather abashed that "overdog" had never occurred to me before. Check it out. Via MeMo.

And I must say that based one my college experience I would have come up with a very different definition for "chugger".
That's one.
