JEWISH EXPONENT — Apr 3 — Just a few weeks ago, the American Dialect Society named "subprime" the word of the year for 2007. Each year, scholars, linguists and lexicographers decide which new words should be formally entered into our dictionaries. Every now and then, euphemisms and slang from the world of singles yield some new words, too.
– Re-vite – This is when someone attempts to invite someone out on another date, usually after already being rejected.
– JDate-Live – JDate singles event.
– De-Harmonized – The process of being rejected by an online dating service.
– Shotgun Message – The practice of sending the same e-mail to every member of the opposite sex.
– E-jected – The process of breaking up with a partner or otherwise rejecting someone via e-mail, IM or SMS.
