Useful Things: Word Spy

As my old algebra teacher was found of saying, "You gotta learn the lingo." I still don't know what that has to do with math, but it makes sense for reading the paper and existing in a world of pop culture.

Word Spy
is "devoted to lexpionage." That is, they find and define words and phrases that have gained popularity in the current culture. The goal of Word Spy is to define the item while providing a history of its appearance and development in culture.

It's a simple site - providing a search engine and some word list links - but it makes finding out what a mullet strategy is so much easier.
