'Wedgie' Added to Webster's Dictionary

Wedgie, a teenager's locker-room nightmare, has made it into the dictionary in its latest edition.

The new edition will carry this listing: wedgie: noun. a prank in which the victim's undershorts are jerked upward so as to become wedged between the buttocks.

The dictionary also carries the traditional wedgie definition of a type of shoe.

"`Wedgie' was always a part of the high school terminology that you sort of never thought about later", said Editor in Chief Michael Agnes.

"It never really entered the mainstream until the '90s. It broke out of high school and, boy � if you don't know what it is, you're absolutely at a loss".

Other additions include Al Qaeda, blog, cargo pants, irritable bowel syndrome and partial-birth abortion.
