Although i've found it lacking for some of the more obscure words gleaned from this site, i have a m-w button right on my toolbar and use it *all* the time. you can download it at http://www.m-w.com/promos/button/button.htm.

it's a simple drag-and-drop installation, then all you have to do is highlight the word in question with your mouse and click on the 'dictionary' link that it places on your toolbar, and it will provide the definition in record time, with very little effort =)
