Has anyone read The Professor and the Madman about the making of the OED? It's fascinating. They wait for at least five years before a new word qualifies. I guess bling-bling has been around since '99...
There's so many words in that sucka! And so many that haven't been used for ages. I have the "shorter" version. It has everything you could ever think of and more.
