Yeah, Jeff wins, easy kill.

Do not underestimate the power of literature. By the way, how often are new words/definitions invented?

I honestly have no frickin’ idea.

By the way, how often are new words/definitions invented?

 
The Oxford English Dictionary, the definitive dictionary of the English language, updates its digital repertoire once per quarter.  During these updates, new words and phrases are added or new definitions are included in existing entries as appropriate.  Last year, over two thousand additions were made to the OED.

If your question is more esoteric and wishes to know how often new words or definitions are created by individuals, even if not codified in a dictionary, that answer is unknowable. Likely every single day, an uncountable number of new words are coined. With regular frequency, words are wrongly utilized but have sufficient context to temporarily provide new definition in that instant, swiftly forgotten as the conversation moves on. There exist an uncountable number of words resulting form inside jokes, toddler babble codified within the confines of a household, or legitimate new words in very niche uses (such as technical terminology) that might never make it to the dictionary.

The question might as well be “how many creepy crawlies are born in a year?” The answer is unknowable and drastically changes based on how you define “new words/definitions”.
