Kind of strange, considering they are more like abrievations.
I suppose it was from popular demand though. Also note I have little knowledge on the subject, so I may be wrong on the reason they were added.

Comments from interviews: "Well, it's like the word 'bling' everybody used it, so the dictionary had to stay hip, had to stay with the current time of using words.'

When Nom Nom got added I knew it went to far.
Nom: 1[noun]- A noise made a by a living being while enjoying food.
EX: We heard lots of noms as the cat finished its food. 2[verb]- To eat. EX: She nommed that sandwitch ina a few seconds That was THE best post I ever made.
