Each weekday, a new word \n or phrase is featured along with its definition and a citation, usually from \n a print media source, that shows the word or phrase in context. Recent words \n include "yettie," a derivative of "yuppie" that denotes \n a "young, entrepreneurial, tech-based twenty-something," and "retail \n leakage," which refers to urban residents leaving their own neighborhoods \n to shop in suburban stores. The site also offers a mailing list for users \n who want to receive Word Spy via email, a searchable index of previously featured \n terms, and a specialized lexicon (Tech Word Spy) that contains computer-related \n and technical terms exclusively. <\/font><\/p>\nFrom The Scout Report, Copyright Internet Scout Project 1994-2004. <a href=\"http:\/\/scout.wisc.edu\/\">http:\/\/scout.wisc.edu\/<\/a>:<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<\/font><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n <\/font><\/p>\n<blockquote> <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/body> \n<\/html><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Untitled Document Check out Word Spy.
