He also founded and, with his son, David, still edits the Barnhart Dictionary Companion [ BDC ], a periodical report on new words that features the staple of Barnhart lexicography--full, dated citations.
The new items, pinstriper and Planet X, are, not surprisingly, both drawn from the BDC , which provided the actual citation for pinstriper and the date of earliest occurrence for Planet X. It seems likely that the increasingly common acronym PIN , for personal identification number , issued by banks as a unique identifier for customers who use automatic teller machines (yes, ATM is in), which was in BDC was passed over for TBDNE because it appears as an entry in the Random House Unabridged Second Edition (1987), though ATM is an entry in all three.
The 1963 and 1980 books are both fine dictionaries, and a book that combines the best of those, carefully re-edited, with some solid, new lexicography based on the BDC , the World Book Dictionary , and the substantial Barnhart files, must be a high-quality dictionary.
Of these 50 entries, 18 come from the 1963 book (4 dropped), all 27 were taken from the 1980, and 5 new items were added: goldbug , golden parachute, gold rush (new sense), golf ball (new sense), and gomer . Two of the five are to be found in the BDC , while entries for all appear in the World Book Dictionary (1989 edition), also produced by the Barnhart staff.
