"Blog? wtf is a blog?"
Blog makes it into the Oxford English Dictionary.
As usual whenever new words are included the learned and wise complain and say things like "surely that's not a proper word" as though new words could only be thought up by men with beards.
The Friday Thing News Blog covers this in more detail.
But basically it boils down to this quote:
"Apparently, blog is in The Dictionary now - well, I don't even know what one is!".
Yes, and for that you would... wait for it..... USE A FUCKING DICTIONARY!!!!.
(pretty much lifted from TFTNB but I gave them a mention and link so they won't sue. Probably).
