Webster's Reluctantly Adds 'Melty' To English Lexicon
« on: October 08, 2007, 02:10:56 PM »
"SPRINGFIELD, MA—Representatives from Merriam-Webster grudgingly announced Tuesday that, due to the Taco Bell–coined term's recent publication in over 150 newspapers and periodicals, including Food & Wine, The Baltimore Sun, and Time, "melty" would be added to their 2008 collegiate dictionary.

"Melty, adjective: from the English 'melt'," Merriam-Webster president John Morse said in a series of words he never imagined he would ever have need to utter. "1: An edible foodstuff possessing viscous qualities; 2: See goolicious. I hereby announce my retirement."

The word "goolicious," an adjective describing something that is both melty and delicious, was also added to the English language"

Wow, that's fucking stupid :V

So does that mean if I published words like Obamafaggot in 150 newspapers and periodicals, it would be in the dictionary?

Oh Onion, where would we be today without reports of Cheney finding love and the FDA approving seconds as part of a balanced diet to achieve maximum fullness after meals?

Glad to know that people still spring the Onion on innocent victims to get laughs.

What a cruel world we live in...
