I heard on the news the other day that the new edition of The Oxford English Dictionary had been released and that it had around 400 ways of insulting someone in it but only about 40 ways of complimenting someone and I thought that was quite funny.

I was also happy to see that chav had made it in there. Damn those chavs making it into the dictionary shakes fist

No, when bootylicious made it in, that marked the downfall of civilisation.

I'd rather use Linux myself.

And if we can get "e-mail" then we can get all the other netslang as
well. Pretty soon we'll just be able to say "look in the dictionary"
when someone doesn't understand us :smile:

He's not too bad at the guitar, though.
