Omnishambles, tash-on and twitlit are all new entries in an online Collins dictionary after the publisher invited suggestions from the public, reports the Daily Telegraph. Omnishambles is from The Thick Of It, you may remember (and was picked up by Ed Miliband) while "tash-on" – if you don't watch Geordie Shore – means kissing. "Superphone" also makes it into the dictionary – it's like a smartphone but even smarter. Sounds like a superdictionary.
