    What's the story

    Facebook would soon build a dictionary of slang words used on the social networking site.

    Reportedly, Facebook is working on software that would scan for words used in Facebook posts or comments, and decide whether a repetitive-word has certain meaning among a bunch of users.

    New words could be added to the glossary by user polls, and words are removed if their popularity decreases.
