Vuvuzela blows into Oxford English Dictionary

The vuvuzela, the horn instrument which became the sound of this summer's football World Cup in South Africa, has won an entry in the latest edition of the Oxford Dictionary of English, due to be published Thursday.

The dictionary, which is based on how language is really used, defines the horn as a long plastic instrument, in the shape of a trumpet, that makes a very loud noise when you blow it and is popular with football fans in South Africa.
