The wedgie–the nerd’s nightmare–is being added to the new edition of Webster’s New World College Dictionary. What is a wedgie? A prank in which the victim’s undershorts are jerked upward so as to become wedged between the buttocks. The Cleveland-based writers of the dictionary also are adding Al Qaeda, blog, cargo pants, Botox, digital camera, identity theft, street cred, Wi-Fi and WMD.
