Should bottle-o, smombie and deathiversary go in the dictionary?
After last month, we're ready to look at some more new words as submitted by you, our readers and fellow word hawks. And you haven't disappointed! This month, we're looking at some new and old slang and an obscure technical term. We are always on the lookout for new, emerging and interesting words to add to the Macquarie Dictionary, so please let us know if you know of one.
Navigating the smombies to get to the bottle-o in time for a perigee syzygy viewing party is a centennial thing, right? Don't forget to pick up some qukes at the grocer on the way home.

The definition for "centennial" should include, unreliable and irresponsible.
