Fatsis is open about both his ambitions and his skepticism of the dictionary’s fusty ways. As he works on his definitions, he bristles against edits and faces negative feedback, suggesting more than once that the dictionary might consider shaking things up a bit. “While I respected the Merriam process,” Fatsis notes as he heads to the company’s offices in drab Springfield, Massachusetts, “I also copped to a selfish, subjective quest to scribble my initials on the language.” His failure to get ze past the gatekeepers “pushed [him] to the belief that there are times when The Dictionary benefits from flexibility, when it’s okay to welcome a word that might just fall short of its ingrained standards—or might change those standards.” After causing a PR headache for Merriam-Webster, he writes, “I wasn’t predisposed to the inoffensive, the way a seasoned definer would be. I thought a funny, cutting, sexy, or culturally relevant quotation could say more about how we use language than a vanilla sentence devoid of context.” Stephen Perrault, a staid, stalwart editor who keeps Fatsis at bay, counters: “We’re not looking to be provocative.”
