New words
[originally posted to my old livejournal on 2006-03-12]
I just found my second real word that's not in the OED 2nd edition. Yay!
The first one I found was some time ago - hardbody, which appears in print in "American Psycho". The second is prannet, which as well as being in Ian Dury's most excellent little ditty "Billericay Dickie" also appears in Alan Moore's "V for Vendetta".

Prannet is now listed in the online edition which is accessible with your library card number. Hurrah!
