Dictionary adds 'bonkbuster' for books with lots of sex The Oxford English Dictionary has officially recognised the word 'bonkbuster' for books which have plenty of sex. It defines the word as: "A type of popular novel characterised by frequent sexual encounters between the characters." It says Sue Limb popularised it writing under the pseudonym Dulcie Domum in her Guardian Weekend Bad Housekeeping column. She came up with the word after a publisher asked her to write "a big, thick book with lots of bonking in it." She wrote the column for 11 years until April 2001. The dictionary has added 1,763 other new and revised entries to OED Online. Ms Limb said: "It's an unexpected event. People keep telling me I've made my place in history so I can happily die now." Of the publisher's request, she said: "I couldn't oblige, but I always play around with words and it was an easy step from blockbuster to bonkbuster." ========== =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-W-E-B---S-I-T-E-=-=-= To Subscribe/Unsubscribe from GoaNet | http://www.goacom.com/goanet =================================================================== For (un)subscribing or for help, Contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dont want so many e=mails?
