That's Oxford English Dictionary.

The OED will possibly be adding some new lingo to its next publication:

"Fembot", which can be either a robot which looks like an attractive woman or an emotionless woman. (Of Austin Powers fame)

"Wand"--which refers to the act of waving a hand held metal detector over a person's body, as in "I got wanded at the airport." (We have the terrorists to thank for that one).

And my personal favorite: "baby momma"--which refers to the unwed mother of a child. (I know you're pumped about this one too, Polly).

I wonder if, on my family law exam tomorrow, instead of talking about the rights of unwed cohabitants, I instead just refer to them as rights of the "baby mommas." Or when discussing child custody and the traditional law of maternal preference, I just say, "Give the kid to the baby momma."

Think I'll get an A??
