it's official

There must be a Red Dwarf fan on the review committee for the Oxford English Dictionary. Or I choose to believe there is, anyway - just in time for the 25th year of the show, they have officially added the word 'smeg' to the dictionary.

This is from last week, I think, but I just heard it on the "Stoke Me a Clipper" Introcast uploaded late last night. I wonder if the entry will include a reference to the parent word "smegma?" (Not that I know this is the parent word, but I'm just assuming.)

Ah, I'm glad to see the official entry, thanks - I wasn't able to find it on the site I gave without joining up, and I'm at work so that wasn't really an option right now. :-)
