Flaunt's Unofficial Addition to the English Language


The Merriam-Webster Dictionary announced the addition of several "new" words today. With constructions such as          F-bomb, flexitarian, energy drink, and life coach making the grade, who says the English language is degrading? So in the vein of the New Aesthetic, we're shouting out our suggestions with no regard for the intellectual well-being of others...
