Google Makes It Into the Dictionary

It’s official, Google is now a verb. Reuters reports that the term is one of the 100 new words added to the 2006 update of the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary. Other words and terms added include mouse potato, himbo (I like the Seinfeld variation, mimbo, better), soul patch, supersize, and drama queen.

Although not included, I agree with the American Dialect Society (among others) that the 2005 Word of the Year was Steven Colbert’s late-comer: truthiness.
