“Urban Dictionary is the slang dictionary you wrote.”

In this week’s episode of TMI Weekly, Julia cites Dictionary.com’s “Word of the Day” as one of her favorite things you can learn for free.  And here I thought her extensive vocabulary came from her prestigious Georgetown education!

Well, I’m a big fan of Urban Dictionary for some free learnin’.  The quirky definitions crack me up and half of the words I think are real are actually made up.  A lot of the words are computer and tech terms from the last several years which is always so much fun for a technology blogger.

I’ve heard that when Miss Julia doesn’t know a slang word someone uses she fronts (puts on a fake or false personality; not keeping it real; Falsely represents), gets all shady (shifty, sly, suspicious, dark, low, low-profile) and looks it up on her iPhone.  What a sketchball – (shady character)!

Here are some of my recent favorites:

Canniversary: A year from the date on which you were fired from a job.

Cookie Duster: A full mustache capable of dusting the tops of cookies.

Manther: The male version of a cougar; older man who preys on younger women.

Facebrag: To use Facebook as a platform to brag.  Normally about a job, internship, trip, purchase or anything else that nobody really needs to know but you’d like to tell everyone because you’re awesome.

Tech-Flu: A mysterious illness one contracts just after purchasing expensive electrical (usually home entertainment classed) devices.

You can submit your own words and definitions.  Let me know when you get one approved and send me any that you think would be outstanding to highlight on my lifecast!
