although why one would expect that to show up anywhere outside of a jargon dictionary is unknown to me.
does this mean it's not in the OED yet? at what point does a word lose the "jargon" label and be deemed worthy of mainstream dictionaries? warez is certainly known to any reasonably savvy internet user, and that accounts for a rapidly increasing portion of the general population. i remember some hazy guidelines offered by Wendelyn Nichols (was that her name?) in an AWAD chat last year that specified a certain length of time that the word has to survive before it's considered a word, and it also has to come from varied sources (do varied 'net sources count?). anyone have any more specific guidelines to share?
