"The DailyCandy Lexion"

Have you ever looked for a word to describe an everyday awkward, embarrassing or just plain funny situation when the dictionary won't do?

DailyCandy.com, a web site that provides daily e-mails about trends targeted to young urban women has launched a book full of words to describe everything from drunk instant messaging "drimming" to a group of undesirable sycophants or "nontourage".

The words in the book titled "The DailyCandy Lexicon: Words That Don't Exist but Should," were created and compiled by a team of the web site's editors -- a group of young, single or single-in-spirit women living in the city -- since 2001, when they realized the words they were making up might be of interest to others and began to publish them on online.

"The lexicon started because we all communicate by IM (instant messaging) and in communicating about say last night's make-out session at the bar, there's no word, so we found that Websters was limited," Brooke Siegel, the site's Miami editor and one of the book's main authors, said in an interview.

The word they came up with was "restaur-romp."

Siegel added that the need for slang lexicons arose because conventional language has not yet caught up with technology.

"In this day and age language is becoming more brief whether it's because more of us are communicating via IM or text message or e-mail," she said.

"So we end up with things like "OMG" and "LOL" that now my dad says ... We wanted the language to evolve with the trend."
