Ask HN: Popular Alternative to Urban Dictionary?
17 by Memosyne | 3 comments on Hacker News.
I recently came upon an unfamiliar slang word and, as I have often successfully done before, went on Urban Dictionary to find its 'dirty' definition but what I encountered made little sense in the negative context and read as though it was professionally defined. Surprised, I investigated and learned that Urban Dictionary is implementing a new initiative to reduce hate speech and as such is watering down definitions [1]. So now I'm wondering: is anyone familiar with an alternative resource that contains the 'dirty' slang that Urban Dictionary used to provide? All of the resources I've found so far don't come close to its coverage. [1] https://ift.tt/2BR1Z6Z
