The Urban Dictionary is a fun website which serves as a kind-of “underground” dictionary, featuring words from everyday “street” vernacular, that you might not find in your average Collins dictionary. Certainly, most of the words would make a proponent of the Queen’s English shudder and shake in frantic disbelief. But nevertheless, it’s a great website, featuring all kinds of humourous stuff. It’s edited somewhat liberally, and resultantly some of the funniest entries are those with a genuine user-submitted definition.
Some examples:
The dictionary is made up of user submitted entries, and woop-de-doo, I’ve had one published. Based on my (now waining, thankfully) addiction to Scrabulous, I coined the term Scrabuluser - a contraction of Scrabulous and luser to mean someone who spends all their time playing Scrabulous. Go me.
If you like the site, you may consider getting their nifty word of the day email.
