The years next to the words are how long they've been in use or how long they've been on the list? OMG has been on there for 94 years! I wonder how long WTF has been there? Is it even on the list? If not... wtf?

Wtf indeed... Who knew "wassup" has been a colloquialism for 109 years? It certainly didn't seem like it's been an entire century since Budweiser launched their Superbowl commercial campaign that inspired countless mullet-wearers to adorn themselves with t-shirts illustrating their brand loyalty throughout the pan-handle...but maybe it has. I don't have a very good memory.
