Two questions for Jesse:  The OED has posted its latest batch of new
entries, but I don't see the usual listing of new items from across the
alphabet.  Am I missing something?  Also, I don't see the phrase "play in
Peoria" s.v. _Peoria_; presumably this will be s.v. _play_.  Can Jesse
tell us what is the earliest citation OED has for "play in Peoria"?
