I am so impressed with the “coining” of this new word…btw can you tell me how a word becomes “official” in the English language or is this now just a part of our Barbadian vernacular? Would be interested in finding out.
This article best explains it: http://www.merriam-webster.com/help/faq/words_in.htm If we use it a lot in Barbados, then I guess it would would become part of our vernacular. If the world started to use it then it may end up in the dictionary eventually.
