'Bling-Bling' Makes New Oxford Dictionary

Well I'm shocked that a word like bling-bling would make it into the Oxford English Dictionary. Not only does this just show the lack of real english, but also just goes to show you can make one fuck'n rap video put some stupid word in the song, have that video go all over the TV and then have that become part of the official language. I guess my biggest problem with this is the lack of overall education in the US. Now kids that don't even know how to read and write are valid in using the word bling-bling, even thought they could never spell it.

On a better note the term Orcs was added to the dictionary as well. Cool ha. Read the whole article yourself here.
And J.R.R. Tolkien's fictional world in "The Lord of the Rings" is also recognized. Orcs are defined as "members of an imaginary race of ugly, aggressive human-like creatures." The dictionary says the word probably comes from the Latin orcus meaning hell, or the Italian orco, meaning monster.
