TIGER WOODS, CNN: “I am deeply sorry for my irresponsible and selfish behavior I engaged in.”
ANTHONY WEINER, ABC: “I have exchanged messages and photos of an explicit nature with about six women over the last three years.”
Maybe you’ve received one.
Heck, maybe you’ve sent one.
Tiger Woods...Anthony Wiener...well, they’re a little more experienced.
“Sexting,” used to be slang. Not anymore, at least according to the Oxford English Dictionary.
Fox News has other new words making the cut.
“Put re in front of the word, re-tweet. And sexting heard for years and made the cut, fortunate-- unfortunate.
Clayton: “Here is another one, I'm surprised this took this long. Cyberbullying to use communication to bully or harass someone.”
“Woot” and “jeggings” were also added. Rolling Stone writes...
“Still, in the interest of progress, we’ll give the effort a hearty ‘woot’ (exclam. expression of elation or enthusiasm, especially in online communication). Note the sudden absence of zeroes from the expression though, lest you risk have your knuckles rapped going forward by an irate English teacher.”
And another, uh, notable word made the cut...
From Straight.com: “Really, OED, really? Was Borat's retina-burning neon yellow thong mankini that significant that it warranted a dictionary entry? Or maybe there's just tons of guys hopping around Mediterranean beaches sporting the leave-nothing-to-the-imagination bathing suit. Must be a European thing.”
And from IT Sneak: “Another benefit of this, aside from enriching the glorious English language, is a few new words for Scrabble games with the family. Lol!”
Words with Friends just got a little more interesting even if Chaucer’s rolling over in his grave.
