Not nearly specific enough for an up to date, exact answer. Language is always changing and dictionaries change every single edition. The last word in mine is "zymurgy" , but a later edition will possibly have a newer word.

What is the dictionary guide word of zeolite?

The dictionary guide word for "zeolite" would typically be "zeal" or "zealot," as guide words are the first and last words on a page in a dictionary. Since "zeolite" falls alphabetically between these two words, they serve as the guide words to help locate it in the dictionary.


Is addictable a word?

There are two ways of acknowledging something as a 'word'. If it occurs in a recognised dictionary, then it is a word (this is the easy way). But something which isn't in any dictionary can still be a word, if a large number of natural speakers of a language use it and understand it in their everyday conversation. In the 1970's 'latte' wasn't in any English dictionary; but everybody in Berkeley, and most people in Seattle, knew what a 'latte' was:- so it was a 'word' for them. There is no mention of 'addictable' in the full text of the Oxford English Dictionary (last print edition):- so most people would not accept 'addictable' as a normal English word. You can always make a case that any word which fluent English speakers use and understand is a word (whether it is in a dictionary or not): but I don't think you can do that here. If 'addictable' existed, would it be connected to the modern meaning of addict ('person enthralled by a narcotic substance') or to one of the older meanings(' property patient of entailment, particularly by legal edict'). Since the word isn't in any dictionary I know of, and I can't make out what it means, I don't think you can call it a word.

The song highlights various cultural elements and aspirations associated with American life, while playfully using "English" as a representation of a character's identity. However, there isn't a specific last name tied to the term "English" beyond this playful context.
