I got an email from the folks who produced "Balderdash & Piffle" for the
BBC (the show which looks for antedatings for words -- mostly British
slang).

Among other things, it pointed to a "Hall of Fame" page on the OED's
website for people who helped research terms from the second season of
the show.

A few of the names will be recognized from the ADS-L.
