Media's Influence On Vocabulary

Okay, so I was having a hard time embedding the clip into my powerpoint presentation so I decided to post it here instead. Below is clip from Glee showing the use of verbed, compounded and blended words.:



As you can see, new vocubulary is not only created by but also shown through the media. In that short little clip, the follow verbed, blended, compound and coined words were used:

*"Got Schooled?"
*"Bootylicious"
*"Hairography"
*"Hair-brain"
*"Preggers"
*"Baby-bomb"
