@philipncohen I get things like crack baby, perp walk, and HIV. Fun year to be born.

@petercatron @philipncohen For me it is ASCII, sicko and sexism (Hey, don't blame me, I couldn't talk yet). But then it's mostly a reminder that the dictionary was kind of lame. Why did Webster decide to include Hamlet's "slings and arrows" in 1963?
