	Oxford Dictionary hoovers lush new words. 11/08/2005. ABC News Online
		For those without a dictionary to hand, "rock up" means arrive, "cockapoo" is a mix between a cocker spaniel dog and a poodle, "hoover" means to eat something quickly, and "ruby murray" is rhyming slang for a curry.
		Also making their dictionary debut are "potty-mouthed" (meaning using or characterised by bad language), "lush" (very good) and "scopophilia" (sexual pleasure derived chiefly from watching others when they are naked or engaged in sexual activity).
		Many of the new words are simply formed by mixing two others together, such as charity and mugger making "chugger" (someone who approaches passers-by in the street asking for donations for a charity) and "labradoodle" (a cross between a Labrador retriever and a poodle).

	Dictionary
		A dictionary is a list of words with their definitions, a list of characters with its glyph or a list of words with corresponding words in other languages.
		Dictionaries also differ in the degree to which they are encyclopedic, providing considerable background information, illustrations, and the like, or linguistic, concentrating on etymology, nuances of meaning, and quotations demonstrating usage.
		This dictionary uses Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) and WordNet as its sources and is being developed collaboratively under the terms of the GNU General Public License.

		The dictionary had no university connection originally; it was conceived in London as a project of the Philological Society, where Richard Chenevix Trench, Herbert Coleridge, and Frederick Furnivall had become dissatisfied with the available dictionaries of English.
		The most convenient choice for the dictionary user would be for the entire dictionary to be reedited and retypeset, with each change included in its proper alphabetical place; but of course this would be most expensive, with perhaps 15 volumes to be produced.
		New material was also published in two Additions volumes in 1993, and a third in 1997, bringing the dictionary to a total of 23 volumes.

	Oxford English Dictionary - Gurupedia
		Although the Oxford English Dictionary is a British institution, and perhaps most comprehensive with regard to British English, its policy is to attempt to record all known uses and variants of a word in all varieties of English, worldwide, past and present.
		English language continued to change, and by the time that 20 years had passed, the outdatedness of the dictionary began to be bothersome.
		New material with words throughout the alphabet has also been published in two Additions volumes in 1993, and a third in 1997, bringing the Oxford English Dictionary to a total of 23 volumes.

	OXFORD ENGLISH DICTIONARY - Encyclopedia.com
		The foremost DICTIONARY of the English language, initiated by the Philological Society as The New English Dictionary on Historical Principles (NED) and published by Oxford University Press, 1st edition 1928 (12 volumes, with later Supplements), 2nd edition 1989 (20 volumes).
		For Trench and his associates, a dictionary was a factual inventory rather than a tool for selecting only the ‘good’ words of a language (however decided); a lexicographer was therefore a historian rather than a moralist, judge, or teacher.
		The Oxford English Dictionary Supplement (OEDS) reached out to the vocabulary of all parts of the English-speaking world, approximate parity of treatment being given to the major forms of English in the United Kingdom, North America, Australia, New Zealand, and elsewhere.

	Article-The New Oxford American Dictionary
		This is a major new edition of the world-famous Concise Oxford English Dictionary, published together with a fully up-to-date text of the dictionary on CD-ROM, containing over 240,000 words, phrases, and definitions, including 1,800 new words.
		This is a major new edition of Oxford's largest and most comprehensive dictionary of quotations, bringing you the wisdom of the ages and the sound bites of today in 20,000+ quotations.
		Each dictionary will have a number of lesser know words (and even some more common words) the other dictionary will not have (especially scientific words, geographical locations, and newer words), so one dictionary is not superior as far as having a significant amount of more entries.

		The reason why the dictionary is controversial is that it has been compiled on the basis of the way people actually use words, as opposed to how experts think people use them, or should use them, or actually did once use them but no longer do.
		Hub is defined by NODE as “the central part of a wheel, rotating on or with the axle, and from which the spokes radiate”, with a sub-sense of “a place or thing which forms the effective centre of an activity, region, or network”.
		NODE puts the sense related to coinage first, with a sub-sense of it being the “opposite or counterpart of a fact or truth” (Chambers has it the other way around).
