Title: Urban Dictionary
Post by: Titan on January 02, 2010, 02:50:05 pm
My friend showed this to me the other day. It's funny, because for my name (Matt) almost every definition perfectly describes me... except the one that says that matt is an acronym...

Ah yes, Urban Dictionary...

I tried to start one of these threads a while back, though it didn't go so well.

I don't like urban dictionary... I submitted the word "ther" (as in Winnie Ther Pooh) and it got rejected. :(

I've visited UB lots of times, although it's usually during a Google search for some newfangled jargon that I know nothing about, or just for fun (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Horny%20Mushroom).

No need for me to click on that... ;)

I wonder if someone has updated the definition for the GTVA Colossus........Nope.

Off topic: I like how my internet browser shows the last poster's signature off the bottom of their post rectangle...

Oh come on, we're not *that* bad!  ;)

Besides, even I have to use that sometimes to understand the slang used by those teenagers with nothing to do but smoke weed, get pissed, and completely forget about school. (Look up Derro on UD)

Look up Derek Smart on UD... No offense to DS, but it's a pretty amusing definition...

lol thaeris

i just though of something under the GTVA ship naming convention the Colossus is a joint Terran Vasudan AWACS

think about it

GTV = Galactic Terran Vasudan

A=awacs , GTA Charybdis and the GVA Setekh

I spotted it looking up GTVA in the UD

My personal favorite is the definition of MATLAB. This is because when I took MATLAB, it was the worst thing ever. Ever.

...C++ wins the day for me, though every programming language has it strengths and weaknesses. However, this is still one of the best defs on UD in my opinion...  :p

You should see slang from other languages. In Vietnamese, they use 'dc' a lot. I could joke and say Washington DC. They also say '9 day' (good day), But it is harder to translate when people use slang in their language :P Sometimes they use 'j' instead of an "i" too or say 'nhug' instead of 'nhung' not including the 'n' in those kinds of words. Also in Spanish they use slang and put 'k' instead of 'que'.

Slang and intentional misspellings makes people look uneducated, agreed?


Also, are you guys talking about this website when you say Urban Dictionary?: http://www.urbandictionary.com/

Yes. Did you not click the 'just for fun' link?
 
For the record I ended up on the 'horny mushroom' page.
 
:wtf:

It's not random. I said "just for fun" because I came across the UD definition while doing a Google search on it for fun.
