Wordsmiths make fanboy, Texas hold ‘em official

“New” words you’ll find in the latest edition of the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary: fanboy (a boy who is an enthusiastic devotee of such things as comics or movies) and Texas hold ‘em (the poker game).

Also making the cut: netroots (like grassroots, but online) and subprime (like the mortgage).
