Mondegreen is a terrible new word -- I can't believe anyone actually uses it, other than someone overly pleased with their own cleverness.

Give it some time. The odds are fair that infinity pool will fall into disuse and be tossed upon the scrap heap of neologisms ready for recycling.

As a practicing pescatarian, glad to see representation in Webster's at long last. Gotta go now, I hear a fish taco calling me...

I know this sounds ridiculous, but I'm pretty sure my friend invented the word "pescatarian" at Bandoleone on Eastlake, 5 years ago.

If they can be used in Scrabble, I'm all for it. Isn't that what the dictionary is for, mercilessly defeating your Scrabble opponant?

Is there a list of the words that were dropped?

#7 Don't count on it. The Scrabble dictionary is very slow to update.

I am disappointed that "truthiness" or "wikiality" were not included in the new list.
