Cool dictionary site
By mbentley. Filed in Uncategorized |
A friend of mine (maybe I wouldn’t go so far as friend Shawn), happened to mention a cool site to me today. It’s www.urbandictionary.com. It’s a dictionary site where users can define slang words used by them. Definitely not appropriate for all audiences, but mostly pretty harmless (Kris don’t even think about it!). Check out some of the definitions below: Yoink: An exclamation that, when uttered in conjunction with taking an object, immediately transfers ownership from the original owner to the person using the word regardless of previous property rights. Though I cherished my automobile, I had to purchase a new one when my second cousin came up from behind me and politely exclaimed, “Yoink” while taking my car keys. Bees Knees: When bees flit from flower to flower the nectar sticks to their legs. The phrase “bee’s knees” means sweet and good, because the knees of the bee are where all the sweet, good stuff is collected. You bought me a coffee? You’re the bee’s knees! Pac-manning: To drive right on the dotted white lane divider, which gives the same effect as Pac-Man eating dots. “Dude, quit pac-manning, you’re gonna hit that car!” Girlfriend voice: The change in pitch or tone of a man’s voice when talking to their significant other. The girlfriend voice is characterized by a higher pitch and a more effeminate tone with speech patterns scattered with pet names and childish words. This type of speech is usually frowned upon when used in the presence of other men. When another man uses this voice they will usually receive a fair amount of ridicule. “Did you hear Bob’s wicked girlfriend voice when he was talking to Lisa? Let’s whip his ass!” Site is mostly really cute. Check it out.
