Lesson 11: WAGs



A friend of mine recently referred me to the website www.kickette.com After treating myself to some soccer gossip, I noticed the word "WAG." I didn't know what a WAG was, so I looked it up and found that it's a collective noun meaning "wives and girlfriends, particularly those of the England World Cup squad." What do I do with a new word once I learn the definition of it? I use it in a sentence:

Victoria Beckham is Queen of the WAGs, and she, not the vuvuzelas, has been the source of the buzzing in the stadium.
