		Author and word lover Susie Dent has delved into the social and political concerns of society from 1904 to 2004 to choose a word for each year to provide a snapshot of that 12 months.
		Dent believes the word was derived from the mid-19th century Roma word "chavi," meaning child, by a popular culture Web site in Britain that used its Gypsy roots to make a statement on the class level of purported chavs.
		Dent also considers words or terms of the moment that haven't yet made it to the dictionary.

		From machosexuals to spear-phishing, she has compiled a language report that shows how business, politics and the media are all to blame for the gobbledygook that all too swiftly becomes common parlance.
		For Dent, an editor and translator best known as resident dictionary expert on the cult British TV show Countdown, business-speak deserves a linguistic Oscar for sheer obfuscation.

	'Chavs' Are Sexing Up English Language
		'Chav' is to this year what 'axis of evil' was to 2002, 'gangsta' to 1988 and 'beatnik to 1958, according to author Susie Dent, whose 'The Language Report' gives what she defines as the key terms for every year dating back to 1904.
		Its use has been condemned as hugely snobbish but Dent said this was not really the point.
		Dent has also identified some inventive new business phrases such as "dropping your pants," which refers to lowering the price of a product in order to close a sale, while "prawn sandwich man" is a corporate freeloader.

	Boston.com / A&E / Books / Wielding a lexicon of wisdom and accuracy and wit and...
		The author's aim is to identify and define neologisms, slang, and various species of argot that have recently made it into the language, as well as to note changes in punctuation, pronunciation, and even intonation.
		She has also thrown in advertising slogans, news headlines, and memorable quotations, including Donald Rumsfeld's epoch-defining peroration on ''known knowns," ''unknown unknowns," and ''things we don't know we don't know." The result is a rather distracted, miscellaneous book that is nonetheless good for an hour or so of entertainment.
		Missing in Dent's book is a healthy dose of suspicion about motives, about how language is shaped and words chosen to fulfill unacknowledged, nefarious purposes.

		Publishers have made various attempts at providing a regular update concerning the state of the English language, including The Oxford Dictionary of New Words, which ran to a sequel in 1996 that I contributed to, and John Ayto’s The Longman Register of New Words, editions of which appeared in 1989 and 1990.
		This time around, it seems that Oxford University Press and editor Susie Dent may have succeeded in creating a format that builds its audience from year to year.
		The rest are revivals, new senses of older words, terms borrowed from other languages, blends or compounds of words already known, or words that have shifted their function from noun to verb, or verb to adjective.

		Also, each word selected made its first appearance in the Oxford English Dictionary in the year for which it is nominated in Larpers and Shroomers.
		Readers might be surprised, however, at how early some of the other choices first appeared: "spliff" in 1936, "Wonderbra" in 1947, "generation X" in 1952 and "cyborg" in 1960.
