The OED extends its warmest regards to The Linus Pauling Quartet




The Oxford English Dictionary would like to congratulate the Linus Pauling Quartet for their advancement of the English Language. This year it is our honour to add to the dictionary a new compound word created by the LP4; a word to which the Queen herself has taken a liking in her everyday conversations. Below you will find your contribution as it will appear in the forthcoming third edition.


Nickelback Pigfucker

1. adjective usually vulgar : a rhetorical trope used to connote a stupid, incompetent, or detestable person.

Example: Give me back my Aquateen Hunger Force Season 1 DVD, You Nickelback Pigfucker!


Thank you and godspeed,

John Simpson
Editor
Oxford English Dictionary
