The classic game for lovers of wordplay announced Wednesday that it would allow fans to choose the next word for inclusion in The Official Scrabble Players Dictionary — the first update in nine years.
Consider what that means before you jump at the chance to make "twerk" relevant.
With 76 years of gameplay, let's really think about which word belongs on the Scrabble board. Here are a few that definitely don't.
1. Amazeballs
2. Belieber
3. Selfie
4. Woot
5. Rando
6. Twerk
7. Staycation
8. Bitcoin
9. Ermahgerd
10. Totes
11. Awesomesauce
12. Turnt
13. YOLO
Remember: Only you can save the future of Scrabble.
Any others you'd add? I don't want to see blogosphere or guru.
