Dropping F-Bombs in my Sexts: A Cougar's Tale

If you were wondering where we are as a people look no further than the new submissions in this year’s Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary.   F-bomb made the list along with sexting and man cave.  Did these terms really need to be defined?  Did we need to add cougar (in reference to a 40 year old woman looking to pounce on a barely legal male not the animal variety) and bromance?  I was pretty sure that was the purpose of Urban Dictionary, the website not the Merriam-Webster’s dictionary for students who will one day serve as leaders of our country.  That sentence just made me nervous, more so than the thought of future laws that feature emoticons and “u” instead of the much more long winded “you.”
