First of all, dictionaries don't list "words", they list "lexicographical terms" -- terms may be made up of multiple words, if the meaning of the unit can not be derived merely from the meaning of the separate words. The first page of the American Heritage Dictionary list s "Aaron's Rod" (an archetectural term). "Slow Food" would qualify; "Cloud computing" maybe not.
The main problem with the list is that none of those terms have been added to the language in the last couple days. The newest are probably "greenwash" or "sexting" and they've even been around for about 6 months. "Web 2.0" has been part of the language for about 4 years, and "n00b" may be entering it's second decade.
The actual 1,000,000th word will probably not enter common usage for 3 months to a year (if it even enters common usage).
