    Urban Dictionary has helped me with so many words over the years.

        Possibly misapplied from hot carl “a cheap red wine enema, usually involving Carlo Rossi Merlot”.

    Urban dictionary only works when the people using the terms go there to define them and upvoted the definitions.

    And young people nowadays don’t do anything online if it isn’t an app.

      I keep seeing stupid, seemingly very person-specific definitions get the votes, stuff like “John: a really sexy, clever boy that all the girls want to be with”

      I dunno but it’s cartoon better have a little tin cup and be begging - they are aggressive AF with trying to get donations. In general, but especially if you ever give them money.

        They sorta have to be aggressive because it’s damn near impossible to get people to pay for online services nowadays. Everybody expects to get everything for free, but also nobody wants to see ads (for a good reason too, mind you.)

          Yeah, I wish they would push a different model. I think the charity model is likely unsustainable long term. Quality contributions to the information should buy you some access and perhaps everyone gets access to some basic info on entries but more in depth data requires a micropayment perhaps.

    Especially considering urban dictionary consists almost entirely of shock humor and isn’t really a good resource for you know, actually understanding people.
