An updated Webster's Dictionary...

Once every ten years Webster's Dictionary is updated. This time around some new Internet-era words like "dot-commer" and "McJob" made it into the dictionary twice as fast as usual. A new word that I didn't see mentioned that my wife and I have been using lately is "McMansion," which describes a large, expensive suburban house that is closely related to its less-expensive sibling the "cookie-cutter." Maybe next time.
