The official dictionary of unofficial English:

A Crunk Omnibus for Thrillionaires and Bampots for the Ecozoic Age.

For readers who want to be on the cutting edge of the English lexicon or for dedicated word geeks,

The Official Dictionary of Unofficial English presents more than 750 words that have unofficially

joined the English language. These words are hot off the street, new even to cyberspace,

and definitely not found in Webster's.

Each entry features a definition, etymology, and at least three citations from print and the Internet

that show the evolution of its meaning.
