While PVR remains nowhere to be seen in the official Merriam-Webster dictionary, DVR has made it onto a list of new words in the latest version of the dictionary. Since personal video recorders and digital video recorders are pretty much the same thing, we're going to take that as a good start.For the record, the definition is exactly three words long: digital video recorder. Deep. Here's a few of the other words that made this year's list:
- ginormous
- Bollywood
- crunk
- IED (improvised explosive device)
- telenovelas
- smackdown
- speed dating
- soduku
