Beyonce not proud of Bootylicious dictionary entry

Beyonce has told TV Hits she is not proud that Bootylicious has entered the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, though Snoop Dogg coined the word in 1992.

Beyonce has told TV Hits magazine that she's not proud of the fact that the word 'Bootylicious' has been added to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary. She is quoted as saying: "I'm not very proud of that. It's in the dictionary - it's crazy. I wrote the song, but I wish there was another word I could have come up with if I was going to have a word in the dictionary."

Well, she shouldn't feel she has to take all the blame, in fairness. It was Snoop Dogg who coined it, after all, when he guested on Dre's 'Fuck Wit Dre Day' back in 1992.
