What new words would you add to the Oxford English Dictionary?

New words to be added are WAGs (Wives and Girlfriends) of footballers, and also "McJob", to denote a low-paid exploitative job for 17 year olds, so why now "Mc Wee" or "Mc Poo" as well, for when you only use their loo?

What words would you like added to see in the OED?

    Multislacking: to watch tv, surf the web and eat a snack at the same time.

  • Something that rhymes with orange or purple (there are no other words that rhyme with these) - like 'scorange' and 'flurple'. I don't know what they would mean but I am sure you lot will help me think of definitions. I'm sure that if we all start using these words they will be in the dictionary in years to come, and they can use this text as the first use of the words! We would be part of history!

    I would also add a word that ends in 'mt' like 'pimt' so dreamt isn't the only word that ends in 'mt'
