How many words does English have for "arrogant bastard"?

It's front page (FRONT PAGE?!?) news stories like this one in the Chicago Tribune today that make me wonder if social science has had any impact at all. Intro to anthropology? linguistics? global citizens of the 21st century? Whatever. We have more words, so we must be smarter. Never mind that other languages have say, linguistic gatekeepers who decide what words are "real" (such as the Real Academica Espanola). Or that some of the languages listed aren't really languages at all (Manderin? Cantonese? no matter, it's all "Chinese" to us!). This guy has definitively proved American superiority by trolling Google for words like "smirting" -- flirting while smoking outside. Is that a real word?! Any smokers out there want to comment?

The graph breaks down this worldview. Click on the link to see the full version. Apparently we have twice as many words as "Chinese" and four times as many as Spanish. Even lower on the list are the Freedom French. But rest assured, pseudo-linguistics bolsters ultra-conservative geopolitics: "Arabic" has the fewest words of them all.

Maybe Osama bin Laden bombed their vocabulary.
