ALOTT5MA FRIDAY GRAMMAR RODEO:  Hat tip to Oxford University Press for updating its online dictionaries to include takeaway, soul patch, vajazzle, and a new definition for douche, among other genius amendments.

  1. I continue to choose to refuse to believe that "vajazzling" is actually a thing.  #notattractive

  4. I want a vajazzled micropig.  Does that make me a douche?

    That's my takeaway from your comment, yes.

    How is "hosepipe ban" a new word when it is defined to mean "an official restriction on the use of hosepipes"?  That must mean hosepipes is already in the dictionary, right?  And ban is being used in its usual sense.  So what's new here?

    I'm especially excited about the addition of photobombing, since my family seems obsessed with it lately.
