Merriam Webster Goes Viral
Merriam Webster added new words to its 2012 dictionary, such
as earworm (“a song or melody that keeps repeating in one's mind”),
sexting (“the sending of sexually explicit messages or images by cell phone”),
and f-bomb (“a lighthearted and printable euphemism”).
After viewing the list, I looked up one of the most common
maladies that those with hepatitis C complain of—brain fog. Although not official, it was listed on Merriam
Webster’s slang submission webpage, sandwiched between brain fart and brain freeze.
