Duh. There are a lot of Italian words that are not in the OED. I guess there
are probably a lot of English words that are not in the OID (like maybe
"drowned"?). Come to think of it, "Affogato" is probably not in the Oxford Bengali
Dictionary or the Oxford Basque Dictionary or a whole lot of dictionaries.
