Five years? Meanwhile "beatboxing" takes 3 decades. Sounds like the ol' OED is a bit "rockist" if you catch my drift.

I look forward to pointing fingers at countless Idolator haters with accepted verbiage to back me up. (Is "hater" in the O.E.D., I wonder?)

I just hope they consult Pimp C personally before minting "trill."

Like "racist," "rockist" often tut-tuts without clarifying. I don't like it. But I guess "pus" is in the dictionary, too.
