Sound Off: F-Bomb Makes Dictionary Debut, But Should It?

An aha moment: The first f-bomb was dropped in 1998.

Aha moment. F-bomb. Gastropub. Sexting. Man cave. Used any of those words lately?

Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary in the latest edition has added these, plus a few others, to the list of growing words published in 114-year-old dictionary.

What words would you add? Tell us in the comments section below.

Each year the dictonary's publishers sift through tons of catch phrases, new lingo and slang words to come up with a list of the 100 newest words showing how the English language has evolved. But each entry has to include three basic components before it can be made official:

• The word itself.
• An example of the word used in context.
• Bibliographic information about the source from which the word and example were taken.
