The publication of the first supplement of the Oxford Dictionary was postponed for one particular reason. What?

shankar · 05-03-2005, 07:56 PM

Clue: It's cricket related.

shankar · 05-03-2005, 08:51 PM

Clue 2: The first supplement was published in 1933. The delay was to include the definition of a new word (a cricketing term).

To include the word "Bodyline".
