For the past couple months, Victoria Beckham has been valiantly trying to turn "major" into the new "hot," and Splash News has informed us, for no particular reason, that the word is all over Beckham's blog. (As in: "Well we have finally unpacked our boxes and I am loving our new house—it is totally major!") Anyway,…

It's not that e-mail, blogs, IM-ing, message boards, and texting have spawned a litter of brand-new interjections... Rather, they have given lots of marginal ones, like awwa, a spelled-out form and thus a major shot in the arm.
