Assuming you perused the latest AWAD News, you would no doubt have stopped at a certain gentleman's criticism of the recent AWAD topic (new OED additions), in particular Mr. Garg's inclusion of 'retail therapy'. I'm sure Bill's 'a bit clumsy' description sufficiently echoes the views of many here. Was its inclusion in AWAD, nonetheless worthy, if only for a grin?

I'm sorry. Did I miss something? Was last week's theme Words Recently Added to the OED That Will Still be in Standard Use 100 Years from Now?

Might this contain a Faldage Willy Shaksper spoonerism?

Nay, Nuncle. There were certes no intent
For, as we be on this heath with no shelter
There can be no intent.
