Howdy. We've moved from Cayce, but St. Elizabeth of South Rose Hill or Lizette de Waccamaw de Sud just don't do it for me.

Ta-Da! Ixnay made it to the OED

Along with virtualize, pre-boarding, wiki and, of course, ta-da.

Brief info on these additions is available on the OED News Page.

Something lite for St. Patty's Day.

Update: Should have looked more closely at the OED site. This page has more March 2007 updates, with scads of new terms beginning with pre- (pre-born is one I'm glad to see gaining currency), and lots more words and word-phrases added.

Lexophiles enjoy!

Ones that caught my eye: Pre-K, presto changeo, pretendress, preferred provider organization (PPO), premenstrual syndrome (if it's in the OED, will my PPO pay for meds to treat it?), presumption of innocence, price buster, prim and proper, undelete, whole enchilada, claymation, fricking, and my new favorite entry: tighty-whities.

There's plenty more, including ones not suited for a "family blog", but they're there.
