Having trouble finding the latest neologisms or tech terms that seem to enter the lexicon every day? From my colleague Andy Havens comes this tip: check out Word Spy. From its web site, this description of Word Spy's purpose:
This Web site is devoted to lexpionage, the sleuthing of new words and phrases. These aren't "stunt words" or "sniglets," but new terms that have appeared multiple times in newspapers, magazines, books, Web sites, and other recorded sources.

PLEASE NOTE: This blog ceased being updated on August 30, 2010. A blog from five OCLC staff about all things present and future that impact libraries and library users. A conversation that starts with the Environmental Scan and wanders around from there. This content is not vetted by OCLC. Everything you read is purely the personal reflections about what's going on in libraryland, informed by our birds-eye views from the center of the WorldCat universe (Dublin, Ohio, USA and beyond).

Lexpionage? New one on me. Sounds a teensy bit lurid. Or is that just me?
