Sol Steinmetz's NEATO (1951) book compiles a list of new words that are sure to be MIND-EXPANDING (1963). The American language grew leaps and bounds in the twentieth century. At the beginning of the century, there were some 90,000 new words. By the end, there were half a million. 'There's a Word For It' covers the quaint words of the 1900slike BALLYHOO (1901), TEDDY BEAR (1902), and ATTABOY (1909); through the war-torn 40s with GENOCIDE (1944) a NUCLEAR POWER (1948); up to the present with SOCIAL NETWORK (2004), LOCAVORE (2006), and H1N1 (2009).
