Which Dictionary?
New Words
Below are some of the new words to enter our most recently published dictionary of current English: the Concise Oxford English Dictionary (Revised Eleventh Edition).
abdominoplasty, aerobicized or aerobicised, agroterrorism, bahookie, blowback, celebutante, crunk, hardscape, hoody (also hoodie), mentee, radge , retronym, riffage, shoulder-surfing, twonk.
My personal favourite out of this list is:
bahookie -
n. Scottish a person's buttocks.

It depends on the dictionary's publishers. Random House, American Heritage and Websters don't all add the same words at the same time.
