Urban Dictionary - Get Slang Smart
What if you asked your girlfriend how she was feeling, and she told you things were hinky? Or you texted your friend and told him to hurry up and get to the party, and he texted back GMAS. Or you suffered a book off and didn't even know it? Or you accidentally slip into the thirst person while telling a story, giving away your secret? You might be, as it were, at a loss for words.
Unless you've studied the Urban Dictionary. The world's largest compendium of slang, UrbanDictionary.com is a wiki style online collection of every slang term imaginable. Some of it is relatively recognizable (cyberchondriac, mascary), some of it is totally obscure (cookie duster, shress), and some of it is downright vulgar (see for yourself). But the sheer quantity of neologisms, catch phrases, acronyms and pithy coinages (over 4.2 million as of this article) is dizzying, amazing, and imho, laol.
They've got a great "Word a Day" newsletter you can subscribe to, an exhaustive thesaural feature for synonyms, and a published book version. Oh, and you can add your own slang terms to the mix! So quit multi-slacking and give some wi-five to your fellow lingo dawgs!
