Nice. Was there another article posted recently similar to this? It went back in time with words usage in history, for example, popular words that sprang out from the revolutionary war.

word spy is a nifty link, but i'm afraid it might contribute to abominations like "chillaxin", which I've actually seen in use (ARGH!) and, which, at one point, was listed as a slang term in the Merriam-Webster's (they've since removed it, thank god).

Google lawyers took exception to using "google" as anything but a trademarked proper name. Harmony was restored after McFedries agreed to reference the Google trademark on his site.

Chillax fish, it's a perfectly cromulent word, albeit a craptastic one.
