Occasionally, terms that are very commonly used and regularly accepted as having a single definition will be added to dictionaries. It generally requires that the words be used in a large portion of the english-speaking world, though.

If you want to just submit a definition for a word, use UrbanDictionary... otherwise you'd have to get a few million people using the word regularly and with the same meaning.

it's got to be in common usage, but new words are added all the time.

"googled" was just added recently if I remember correctly.
