Merriam and Webster (the dictionary people) have really ticked people off now. Their pissing off new word:
McJob: a horrible low-paying job*
McDonalds has mass-released press releases (hmm, redundant) on this and has (gasp, oh the horror) written a letter to Merriam and Webster regarding their outrage.
Because everyone knows McDonalds pays well and has wonderful benefits.
*Or something along these lines--I'm paraphrasing a bit. Give me a break, I heard it on the radio half an hour ago!
