More properly, I should have said that the online dictionary is the only
POSSIBLE source that can keep up with the "cutting" edge of language
drift. Sometimes it is the poets pushing the boundaries of language,
sometimes it is new immigrant populations, sometimes it is industry: but
in our place and our time the people most visibly responsible for
stretching and pushing and evolving the use of English and the meaning
of words in popular culture are the hip-hop artists--and only a source
that is equally as immediate, as fluid, as dynamic (i.e. an online
dictionary) can hope to keep up with the new ways words are being used
in that medium.
