Michal, I suggest that if you want "joggling" in the next edition, you go speed dating, find a ginormous fan of crunk music and sudoko, dial up your DVR, find a joggling show and start convincing people of its merits. Do this enough times and you'll have the perfect storm of conditions to get the word in Webster's. Smackdown!

Great ideas Jeffery! I'm with you Michal. Let's get 'joggling' put in the vernacular. Maybe we could start a petition.
