Among the new words which the Oxford English Dictionary has added to OED Online are ankle-biter (n.), bogart (v.), clip art (n.), techno-shamanism (n.) and tikka masala (n.), and wuss (n.). And under 'buyer' they've added 'buyer's remorse' (n.).
There's an Online Etymology Dictionary out there to play with, too.
(As you probably know, the winner of the Friends of the Library's Spelling Bee for the past three years in a row has been Sven Redsun. We think he probably knows the OED by heart.)
Thanks to Librarian in Black for both of these. She in turn credits Phil Bradley for finding the Etymological Dictionary...
