Merriam Webster is adding "sock puppet" to their dictionary.

I guess we have to start spelling it as two words.

MTF3 is busy making sure the word is also being added to Flemish, Latvian, and Basque dictionaries.

Sock puppet (1959): a false online identity used for deceptive purposes.

I'm kinda surprised that "Earmark" isn't in there already.

"Frenemy"??

In that case, where's "bromance"?
