October 2007Happy Birthday: 1990After decades of division following WWII, the two countries once known as East Germany and West Germany were formally joined together on October 3, 1990. Combining two items in order to produce a third isn't limited to the business of creating countries; of the 24 terms dating their birth year to 1990, five words are the result of a similar process.

November 2007Happy Birthday: 1965When the lights went out during rush hour on November 9, 1965, the Great Northeast Blackout left 30 million people in the dark. It was the most dramatic lights-out in American history until the August 2003 blackout.

Morse first demonstrated his telegraph. Plenty of the words that claim 1838 as a birth year telegraphed the colorful changing world of 170 years ago.

February 2008Happy Birthday: 1929In the spirit of Leap Year, with its extra day in February, we take the liberty to jump one year ahead to celebrate words first appearing 100 years ago, in 1929. In the heyday of Prohibition, seven men associated with Bugs Moran's gang were lined up and shot in a Chicago garage. The February 14, 1929 executions, traced back to Al Capone's crew, were dubbed the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. Eighty years later, the St. Valentine's Day Massacre remains well known; so too are many of the words that first appeared in print that year. March 2008Happy Birthday: 1933On March 12, 1933, the newly inaugurated President Franklin D. Roosevelt gave the first of his national Fireside Chats. The Great Depression was upon the land, and FDR had plenty to say to comfort and encourage Americans. 1933 was the year 182 new words were first spotted in print (including these 16).

April 2008Happy Birthday: 1968In April 1968, 2001: A Space Odyssey premiered after a great deal of hype. The New York Times reviewer categorized the movie somewhere "between hypnotic and boring;" The New Yorker's Pauline Kael dismissed it as "trash masquerading as art." The public loved it, however, and some movie critics ended up reconsidering, renouncing, and revising their reviews. In addition to welcoming a new style of movie, 1968 also ushered in 218 new words, of which more than a few evoke Arthur C. Clarke and Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece.

May 2008Happy Birthday: 1954In May, 1954, medical student Roger Bannister broke the four-minute mile. The barrier was as much psychological as it was physical: running that fast was considered by some to be impossible. Bannister's record was broken only a few weeks later, and nowadays breaking a 4-minute-mile is a realistic goal for runners, not simply a dream. One hundred eighty-four words broke into print in 1954; more than a few of them are so well-established as to be considered run-of-the-mill these days.

June 2008Happy Birthday: 1692What became known as the Salem Witch Trials began when Bridget Bishop was indicted, tried, and sentenced to death on June 2, 1692.

September 2008Happy Birthday: 1908On September 23, 1908, in the bottom of the ninth inning, New York Giant Fred Merkle was on first base while teammate Moose McCormick was on third. What happened next cost the Giants the pennant, established the date as one of the most ignominious anniversaries in baseball, and made bonehead and boner part of our lexicon. Along with the noun bonehead, nearly 200 other nouns also first appeared in print in 1908. We've pulled out a few notable ones — they tell an interesting cultural story.

January 2010Happy Birthday 1920Prohibition – the banning of the manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcohol for consumption – took effect nationwide in the United States on January 16, 1920. That "Noble Experiment," as Herbert Hoover called it, lasted nearly 14 years, until it was repealed by passage of the 21st Amendment in December 1933. Of the 242 words that first saw print the same year Prohibition began, only a few concern alcohol; others take to the skies to describe the new world of aeronautics. Still others paint a picture of the world of politics and finance as we headed toward the Great Depression. February 2010Happy Birthday 1926Black History Month (originally Negro History Week) dates back to the second week of February 1926. What was the state of the English language when Dr. Carter Woodson founded his celebration week?

That year more than 200 new words first appeared in print and subsequently were entered in the dictionary; here's a sampling. 1934 also saw the first printing of Webster's New International Dictionary, Unabridged, Second Edition (often called Webster's Second for short).

That great modern novel details a single day -- June 16, 1904 -- in the life of Dubliner Leopold Bloom. (That date, by the way, marks James Joyce's first date with Nora Barnacle, whom he would later marry). Of the more than 250 words whose first appearance in print dates back to 1904, we pulled out three dozen which may (arguably) evoke James Joyce.

By the time the fire ended three days later, St. Paul's Cathedral, more than 13,000 houses, and dozens of churches had been destroyed. A new London (with less wood) arose from the ashes. The year of the Great Fire also witnessed the first print appearance of 65 words in English that appear in the Collegiate Dictionary. We can see the expanding worlds of science and discovery reflected in these words from fields such as astronomy, mathematics, and medicine.

November 2010Happy Birthday 1917On November 2, 1917, the British government issued the Balfour Declaration, expressing support for a Jewish homeland in Palestine. Made public in the midst of wartime, the Balfour Declaration was at least partly intended to influence the path of the Great War. A number of the 185 words whose first print appearance dates to 1917 arose from the war efforts. Others limn a picture of what American life was like - and how it was changing - 93 years ago. January 2011Happy Birthday 1611We mark the quadricentennial of The King James Bible in 2011. The translation effort was immense: it took seven years for dozens of scholars to complete the work. Oddly enough, the phrase Authorized Version didn't appear in print until 1824, and the phrase King James Version didn't appear until 1884. Although the Collegiate cites only one word, whosesoever, with both a 1611 date and a King James Bible source, another 380 words trace to 1611 -- almost three times as many terms as first appeared in print in 1610 and more than three times as many that date to 1612. However, surprisingly few of those 381 words concern religion. Interested in seeing all 381 entries dating to 1611?

The choice of date commemorates the Haymarket Affair (also known as the Haymarket Riot) – a demonstration at Chicago's Haymarket Square that dramatized the labor movement's struggle for recognition – on May 4 1886. Of the 226 words known to have made their print debut in 1886, only two (Labor Day and walking delegate) are clearly related to the workers' rights efforts. Other terms (age–old, misoneism, straw man) might crop up in certain discussions about the goings–on 125 years ago. The rest of our sampling is just for fun.

It's easy to wave the flag for all the words first spotted in print during that Revolutionary year: the all-American Continental and Stars and Stripes, and the military terms gunboat, maneuver, and aide (originally a staff officer, shortened from aide-de-camp).

September 2011Happy Birthday 1961On October 1, 1961, Roger Maris hit his 61st home run for the season, breaking the record Babe Ruth had established 34 years earlier. Maris's record lasted 37 years, but the three major leaguers credited with surpassing his total have been accused of taking performance-enhancing steroids. Coincidentally, both anabolic steroid and sports medicine made their print debut the same year Maris earned his spot in the record books. Of the more than 200 words first spotted in print in 1961, at least a few have faded from usage; others paint a picture of the Mad Men era half a century ago.

October 2011Happy Birthday 1956Tens of thousands of Hungarians took to the streets in the Hungarian Revolution of October 1956. The popular uprising followed a speech by Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev in which he attacked the period of Stalin's rule. Encouraged by the new freedom of debate and criticism, a rising tide of unrest and discontent in Hungary broke out into active fighting; their demands included increased freedoms and a withdrawal of Soviet troops. Instead, Soviet tanks rolled in and crushed the demonstrations. Hungary remained under Soviet control until 1989. 55 years later, we look back at a few of the 137 words first spotted in print the year Hungarians rallied for freedom. A number of those terms are associated with scientific advances; others reveal a bit about everyday life and concerns.

November 2011Happy Birthday 1775November 10 is the anniversary of the founding of the United States Marine Corps and November 11 is Veterans' Day. These military milestones bring to mind a term that was brought into English by the USMC: gung ho. But gung ho is only seventy years old; it was first spotted in print in 1941, soon after marines adapted the Chinese phrase gōnghé – translated roughly as "work together" – to gung ho. If we go back to 1775, the year the Continental Congress established the precursor of the USMC, we find 130 words that were added to the language. Several of these words have military – and particularly naval – connections; the others form a fascinating group. Here's a sampling. Interested in seeing all the words dating to a particular year?

January 2012Happy Birthday 1660Samuel Pepys (pronounced "peeps") – the public servant who brings mid-17th century England to life in his diaries – recorded his first diary entry on January 1, 1660. He wrote until failing eyesight forced him to put down his pen in May, 1669. His diaries (written in shorthand) remained unpublished until 1825. They present a fascinating picture of official and upper-class life in Restoration London, with vivid, honest accounts of ordinary as well as great events, including the Plague and the Great Fire of London. At least a few of the 105 terms known to have entered print in 1660 are found in Pepys' diaries; take a look at a few other terms dating to 1660 which also paint a picture of those tumultuous times.
