NEW WORDS. More than 2,000 new words and phrases have been added in the latest edition of the New Oxford American Dictionary. Some of the new words include: Buzzkill: a person or thing that has a depressing or dispiriting effect; Cheeseball: lacking taste, style or originality; Chillax: calm down and relax; and Vuvuzela: the horn used at the World Cup Games. Other new words are "microblogging," "staycation," "frenemy," "bromance," and "turducken." (Yahoo! Buzz Log, Aug. 20).
