  Linguists are loving it. Wayne Glowka, chairman of the New Words Committee for the American Dialect Society, was waking up to CNN yesterday when he heard "frog-marched out of the White House," and he scribbled it down. "Frog-march" will be a candidate for the society's annual list of new or newly prominent expressions, he says. 

  [Jesse Sheidlower, principal North American editor for the OED,] says "frog-marched out of the White House" could even make the revised edition now being assembled.
