bilby commented on the word jubilating
"During Saturday's ABC Radio coverage of the second Test, a commentator assured us we would have a better idea of the result of a decision after the arrival of the video, or TV, 'forensic'. No idea what this meant at all. According to the chorus of hidebound dictionaries loitering around here at Transmission Towers, forensic is an adjective relating to legal process, and doesn't exist as a noun at all, much less one relating specifically to cricket and video replays.
Later the same day, following the fall of a South African wicket, commentator Glenn Mitchell assured us that the Australians were 'jubilating'. In the extremely unlikely event that he was right, one can only hope that medical science will soon devise a cure for what sounds like an extremely debilitating condition. Given the rate at which cricket coverage is adding words to the language, some central storehouse for the new lexicon seems essential."
