I found a new word today: embiggen. It can be seen at http://www.metro.co.uk/weird/article.html?in_article_id=21898&in_page_id=2. Look at the caption of the picture. This word does not appear in the printed dictionaries I checked, but I did find it on Wikipedia (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Embiggen). I suppose if I were a fan of The Simpsons I might have known this word.
