New Entries in Year 2006
This word search puzzle is themed. It hides 18 words or phrases which only first appeared in dictionaries in 2006. Our personal favorite is DRAMA QUEEN. But while these search terms are listed, there are 2 additional unlisted search terms for you to find. The solution is provided.
Here are three new entries with definitions and sample sentences. There are seventeen others in the puzzle. Are you familiar with them all?
● DRAMA QUEEN a person who habitually and excessively exaggerates situations, reacting with over-the-top, theatrical behavior to gain attention and sympathy. She was such a drama queen the entire car ride, first complaining that the sun was too bright, then how her seat was too hard... I was like, oh my gosh enough already!
● FOOD BANK a nonprofit organization that collects, stores and distributes food, typically basic provisions and nonperishable items, and usually supplied free of charge to people in need. She felt shame entering through the door of the food bank, but she recently lost her job and she had two children to feed.
● PHOTOSHOP the digital alteration of a photographic image using image editing software in order to enhance quality, correct defects, or add, remove or change image elements. She used photoshop techniques to blur out the background of her photos before posting online to ensure no one would know where she lived.
