A dictionary of human interaction, defining

slang, pop culture, and everyday urban life.

A resource for parents trying to understand

their kids, for language learners confused by

real-world English-but most of all for your

entertainment. A from-the-streets explanation

of contemporary culture and language available

online at www.urbandictionary.com, in the pages

of this book, or from any nearby teenager.

Big ups to the peeps who made this project possible.

To my agent, Sheila, who keeps the biz on lock; to my editor,

r .ane, who kept my page� in check; to my profs, especially

Dr. Bensky, Dr. Turner, Dr. Battcnburg, and Prof. Stearns,

who kept me on point; to my friends who always got my

back, especially Dave, Jordan, J\tlike, Russell, Scott, Barrett,

and Anna; and most of all to the 'rents, Doug and Brenda,

whose constant encouragement, advice, and support were

clutch since dav one.


'

After six vears of constant submissions, Urban


'

Dictionary has become the first reference for everyday

lanbtuagc. Dedicated and loyal users from all over the

planet took time to write creative, entertaining definitions

from their lives. Their words have now become an

invaluable resource for the world. Props.

.. .. . .. . .. .. . . . ..... .. .. . .. .. . . . .. . .. .. . .. . .. .. .. .. ... .. . .. . . . . . . . .. . .. . . . . . . . . . . . .. . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. .. .. . .. . ...... .. .. ... . .. .. .. . .. ... .. .. . .... . .. . . .. .. . .. .. .

O dicionário urbano sempre teve vida própria - e isso foi

sempre o ponto. Eu comecei urbandictionary.com em 1999 como um dicionário de gíria on-

line com definições enviadas pelo usuário. Desde o seu início, as pessoas escreveram mais de

um milhão de definições para 250.000 palavras, e hoje mais de dois milhões de pessoas visitam o

site todos os meses.

O que começou como um site onde apenas meus amigos do dormitório rastreavam

suas expressões de gírias regionais se transformou em um retrato em constante evolução

da linguagem falada por milhões de pessoas comuns, todos os dias. Hoje, o Urban

Dictionary ( Dicionário Urbano) não rastreia apenas a criação de novas linguagens.

Tornouse um ponto de encontro para toda a comunidade, onde as pessoas têm a chance

de explicar como usam e mudam a linguagem existente para expressar suas próprias

visões do mundo ao seu redor.

Os usuários do Urban Dictionary variam de adolescentes criativamente rebeldes que

escrevem abertamente sobre suas vidas em suas definições, entre jovens de 20 e 30 anos

com intuições singulares e divertidas sobre as definições de palavras emergentes, até

professores que querem saber por que crianças ou estudantes continuam se referindo a

eles como "hella bootsy" Para os estudantes sérios da língua inglesa de todo o mundo. O

conteúdo do Urban Dictionary tornou-se o cartão de visita irreverente de uma geração

linguística. Essas definições podem ser engraçadas para alguns e ofensivas para os outros,

mas essa é a natureza da "fera urbana."Para aqueles que não podem suportar o calor

linguístico, eu só posso dizer "cai descendo" e relaxe. Todos merecem a oportunidade de

entender e ser entendido.


INTRODUCAO

No momento em que escrevo, há 250.000 palavras únicas no site, e é a

diversidade e a qualidade de opinião usadas para definir essas palavras que

tornam o Dicionário Urbano tão popular. Estas são as vozes verdadeiras,

engraçadas, irônicas, zangadas, tímidas, inteligentes, peculiares, novas e espertas

de hoje, e elas têm muito a dizer.

Das milhares de definições do Urban Dictionarv, eu escolhi as mais


'

engraçados, mais inteligentes e confiáveis postagens dos melhores autores do

site.

Eu escolhi algumas dessas palavras porque elas revelam aspectos da cultura

pop ou hip-hop. E outras porque elas vivem apenas no mundo online, e

algumas só porque são hilárias. Eu não poderia inventá-las se eu tentasse.

O Urban Dictionary muda diariamente e à cada nova definição, torna-

se uma visão mais precisa, divertida e perspicaz do mundo.Então, para todos

vocês que querem ganhar algum "crédito urbano de ingles. Para o novato

analfabeto urbano que confunde skank com shatyk, e para o falante de gíria que

quer manter seu jogo.Este pode ser um bom livro para manter tudo isso

acessível.

launched Urban Dictionary, a parody of dictionary.com with a twist:

Urban Dictionary has become a handy reference for media

consumers and creators alike. Rush Limbaugh cited Urban

Dictionary to translate rap lyrics in <l court case.
