Wags make into the dictionary
 

It is indeed a sad day for the english language, as "wag" has now been recognised as an official word (along with muffin top which I had never heard before today when I read the Guardian at lunch! Great word, lol)

But I have a problem with the word wag. It stands for Wives and Girlfriends and seems to have risen most prominently during the last World Cup. But is is fundamentally flawed!!

A person cannot be both a wife and girlfriend (well not to the same footballer anyway!) so surely the term should be "wife or girlfriend". Only problem is the acronym of that is a word that for a long time had some pretty negative racial connotations but at least it would be grammatically correct! If I was more anal retentive, I think I would have to just email Collins Dictionary to let them know..... :whistle:

:shocked:

(thats all I can say really)

What on Gods green earth is going on?

Haha I think thats brillant! I was actually talking about this with someone the other day and wondering why it wasn't there!

It was only a matter of time...
