200x190.jpg
It is the closest many of them will ever come to a book but the word WAGs has made it to the dictionary.

The word for the wives and girlfriends of sporting stars has been added to the latest edition of The Chambers Dictionary.

The 11th edition of the book also includes a host of 'modern' words and phrases which the publishers claim illustrates modern life.

Environmental issues are clearly a growing concern with the addition of the terms, carbon footprint, eco-village and green tax.

The revised edition also now includes Wags, nail bars and social networking as a sign of the times.
From the science and technology fields we have, electrosmog, Blu-ray, quantum computer and metamaterial.

A spokesman for the dictionary said: "The new words we added to this 11th edition of The Chambers Dictionary paint a vivid picture of current interests and concerns."
