I prefer Collins' - it's less stuffy than the OED and more accepting of comtemporary argot.

For a new meaning to be added to the OED, I think three instances in print of the word (from certain sources only) need to be found. I was referrring to the English spoken in the UK, Ai being a UK label. Webster's is a US dictionary, as previously pointed out. The OED is the definitive guide to language for UK English. So nuur! ##################################################################################### Note: Any views or opinions are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Channel Four Television Corporation unless specifically stated.
