It's also made it into the Macmillan online dictionary! Bingo wings hasn't made the big show yet, but it's on it's way too.
I saw the latest OED additions in this Guardian article, did you know that heart is now a verb? I heart good grammar! Searching for the article also led me to this one, about what seems like a very interesting google tool.
Do you teachers ever send your students to Urban dictionary? It's a great way to get asked a dozen embarrassing questions about ridiculous imaginary sex acts made up by infantile teenagers, which I generally try to avoid but on the other hand I try and encourage my students to read and interact with authentic language and sometimes "official" dictionaries aren't enough. Do you use it? Recommend it? Avoid it?
