how much do you hate urbandictionary?

let it all out.

I can’t even joke around with certain words anymore. like I wanted to use a made-up word, “penguino” as a cute word for “penguin.” but urbandictionary was like NOPE.

and urbandictionary makes everything weird. like its definition of unicorn. :frowning:

I looked them up. Yeah, that is definitely a unicorn. Or a great white buffalo, I would say.

Pengino isn’t a bad definition though. And that’s the wonderful thing about the English language. There’s a lot of definitions, but there’s also a lot of synonyms.

It takes all types of definitions to become a cunning linguist! Bwaa hahaha! I couldn’t help it. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I don’t know what a linguist is… but judging by the context clues there… I bet urbandictionary had a field day with that word. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

fake words on urbandictionary is not English though. :disappointed_relieved:

I can’t because I’m one of the few people who respect the language and would rather do the hard work of finding an appropriate official English word rather than making a fake word… :frowning:

You can make up your own definition like a certain politician made up and continuously used the word “bigly”.

I do go to urban dictionary every once in a while if someone says something that I know is slang and doesn’t make sense in the conversation normally. Like looking up what lit means.

To learn how to love and forget how to hate…

trust me. one day, a man’s going to wish he hadn’t looked up a certain word on urbandictionary. sometimes, knowledge is an unnecessary burden… :disappointed_relieved:

like conversations between people (that before were confusing,) just become very awkward. Imagine a young kid learning English solely through urbandictionary. :frowning:

and yet again, I am very sensitive with information because of my illness… :thinking:

dude, I definitely know how to love :sunglasses:

deep deep love :wink: :dark_sunglasses:

books, eh? I like books. :slight_smile:

Nobody should be learning english from urbandictionary. Its meant for slang. Slang is based more in culture and region then in actual language. Slang is the cultural spin we put on language not the language itself.

and yet a lot of people misinterpret English words with that cultural spin. that can be quite embarrassing for the reader, and especially the writer. :frowning:
