Oxford needs to look up the word "slang."

[Lallans]

As an Oxford consumer and someone whose idea of rollicking good time used to be to sit down and read word histories in the 28 volume edition (I was injured at the time, OK?), I can say that previously they were very conservative, to the point where their dictionaries were not at all useful past the year 1900 or so (they only did two editions in a century for heaven's sake) and not always then if a word hadn't met their criteria for inclusion. Now they appear to have gone to the other extreme. Not sure how I feel about that, but for sure English is out of control of the English and they can do nothing to stem the tide of new words. Or the tsunami, if you like. Which for them would be a new word!
