The term "man cave" has been added to the dictionary. At last.

I'm referring to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, but surely those other country clubs of words and wisdom will follow suit. For once you've been welcomed by the language Vanderbilts, everyone else soon yearns to have you over.

So here it is, the Merriam-Webster plaque of honor, presented late this past summer: "man cave n. (1992): a room or space (as in a basement) designed according to the taste of the man of the house to be used as his personal area for hobbies and leisure activities."
