The 12th edition of the dictionary is a recognition that modern technology and social media have greatly impacted the English language. Retweet, the act of resharing a message on Twitter, is our favorite addition, though sexting and woot are a close second and third.
The Concise Oxford English Dictionary -- which is celebrating its centennial birthday -- now has more than 240,000 words.
"Sadly, the new edition has no room for tremendous words like brabble ‘paltry noisy quarrel’ and growlery ‘place to growl in, private room, den’ -- what we might call a man cave these days," Oxford University Press's Angus Stevenson said in a blog post. "But the preoccupations of today’s Generation Y have opened the door to some equally colourful vocabulary -- how about momo, noob, nurdle, and woot?"
