Phat Brewskis and Dead Presidents
BY SCOTT VANPALA — July 14, 2003 2:04 am
Well the latest iteration (11th edition) of Merriam-Webster’s dictionary was released last week. Though I am almost finished reading it, I can tell you so far that this book really kicks some serious ass!
Let me show you some examples of what I am talking about…Here are some of this year’s NEW words. No, I am not making these up:
Dead presidents noun plural (1944) slang : U.S. money in the form of bills; specifically : DOLLARS
Brewski noun [2brew + -ski, suffix in Slavic surnames] (1978) slang : BEER
