consternation and possible damage.""Brain cramp," "bucket list," "energy drink," "life coach" and "aha moment," were also added to the 114-year-old print edition of the dictionary, as well as "flexitarian," "obesogeniccopernicium," "systemic risk," "craft beer," "e-reader," "game changer," "gastropub," "geocaching," "shovel-ready" and "tipping point." Online, hundreds of new entries are included each year.
In 2011, "tweet," "bromance" and "cougar" were among them. No word on whether fuck is also included by Merriam-Webster. *
