It broke out of high school and, boy — if you don't know what it is, you're absolutely at a loss."The new edition will reach bookstores by May and has 58 new entries, plus another 20 new senses of existing words (such as wedgie).The additions include Al Qaeda, blog, cargo pants, irritable bowel syndrome and partial-birth abortion.
