Merriam-Webster is at it again. They are adding more slang, tech, and pop culture terminology to their dictionary. I think when they do this, some of the words lose their punch (humor or hipness).

Along with “ginormous”, here are a few other words that are now “official”:

Bollywood
crunk
IED
RPG
smackdown
speed dating
sudoku
telenovela
