UrbanDictionary Is The Dictionary We All Actually Need Today

It's honestly kinda a miracle that Urban Dictionary is still around and relevant - originally it was mostly a place to look up weird sex slang terms you weren't quiiiite sure about (me not knowing what a "Cleveland steamer" was seems like such an innocent time), but has since grown into something so much bigger, more interesting, and ultimately more rewarding: a place where the TRUE (as in honest) definitions of words can live, even if they may be a little more based on opinion or subjectivity than a normal dictionary would allow.

Sure, it has all the weird, obscure sex moves that sound BASICALLY like assault and which you're pretty sure no one has actually ever done ("Charizarding" would absolutely be illegal) - but the more interesting thing it has going for it is being the kind of real, honest, and truthful dictionary we need in the strange times we live in.

It's always fun to discover these, so we thought we would share some of our favorites with you here:
