Wordspy is an Internet site dedicated to tracking recently coined words, existing words revived into modern usage, and older words that are now being used in new ways.
The site explains new words and phrases (new entries added regularly). The site is devoted to what it calls "lexpionage" (e.g., the sleuthing of new words and phrases), a subset of lexicography. The words contained are new terms that have appeared multiple times in various publications and recorded sources. It has an archive of previous entries.
The site includes explanations of the following:
- "homicide bombing" (neologism)
