The OED Breaks New Ground

As I am sure you know, that’s a metaphor.

And what is a metaphor?

It’s for when you need more

Than mere simile

When your object must be

Something else down to its core.

Every year the OED (Oxford English Dictionary) adds some new words.  I don’t mean to humblebrag, but I worked two of them into the limerick below.

Some purists think it’s deplorbs

What the OED added is horbs

But the new words are totes

Acceptable colloques

And slangmeisters find them adorbs.
