"An old military punishment by which the criminal ran between two rows of men receiving a blow from each. The word is pronounced gauntlet." — Arthur English, A Dictionary of Words and Phrases Used in Ancient and Modern Law
As a noun, an Urbandictionary user has defined it as "Personal information about people on the Internet, often including real name, known aliases, address, phone number, SSN, credit card number, etc."
Seems to be gaining ground as a verb meaning "to post personal information about (someone) online, esp. in order to humiliate or expose them."
Examples:
- "As you'll all see on breaking news, the BNP (extreme right wing political group) have had their entire membership database list doxed online - including names, addresses, telephone numbers, occupations."
- "The hatemongering blogger known as 'Tom Newton' has FINALLY been doxed!!"
- "This faggot needs to be doxed"
- "LoL he said he doxed me and swatted me and they have yet to show up :)"
- "Anyhow, they doxed me because I annoyed them, and got on their nerves."

charolastra commented on the word versatile
OED2 (1989) claims it also means "bisexual" (or "both homosexual and heterosexual, as they put it), listing two examples:
1959 C. MACINNES Absolute Beginners 64 No one..cares..if you're boy, or girl, or bent, or versatile, or what you are.
1960 M. SPARK Ballad Peckham Rye iii. 32 Dougal was probably pansy. ‘I don't think so... He's got a girl somewhere.’ ‘Might be versatile.’
If it did indeed mean this, it was apparently short-lived.

What happens when a word ends up here that's clearly from another language? Can it be deleted — or should it?
