Collins Word Exchange accepts the Irish slang word, Langer
"Well today has been the official launch of Collins Word Exchange and one word has stood out among everybody's fantastic submissions. Hundreds of Irish Word Exchange users have put up a massive fight to see the word 'langer' in the dictionary. Jeremy Butterfield, Editor in Chief of Collins English Dictionaries was astounded by the popularity of the word: I have never seen such passion about a single word before. We have fast tracked it straight into the Living Dictionary as it so obviously deserves a place. This is exactly what the Word Exchange was built for and we are awed by the positive response we have had from Irish word fans."
