The Word Spy

Conquering globesity may be a BHAG. If this means nothing to you,
your vocabulary may be lagging behind culture, so stop by
WordSpy.com to catch up on recently coined words and phrases, old
words used in new ways, and words enjoying a renaissance.
"Globesity" is the global obesity plague and
"BHAG" is an acronym for a big, hairy, audacious goal, coined by
a couple of Stanford profs.

The words here are real; that is, they've appeared in newspapers,
magazines, books, press releases, and Web sites. Newly spotted
words, their definitions, recent examples of usage and earliest
citations are posted daily. Search alphabetically or by subject,
like Business, Language, Science and Culture. The Top 100 lists
the top Word Spy words based on page views from the past week.
