Urban Dictionary...
« on: February 23, 2009, 06:54:28 AM »
Eventually, forum posting will get to a point where you'll actually be scratching your head trying to decipher what the poster is talking about...if you're not already.

For those of you who don't know the latest slang...and may be stumped by certain words from the younger generation...here's a good read:  Urban Dictionary

      It's been online since 1999...and definitions are added by members...daily.

      So...What makes it old?  Its length of time online?

      That being the case...wouldn't you be inferring that Computer Hope is also old?

      Well, we are talking about Mr.Google here. I don't think he thinks about the vast implications he makes in his terse, Single word replies.  ;D

      What happened here...is that those claiming Urban Dictionary isn't the latest thing...went to the site...saw "1999" and assumed the worst.

      Did anyone (knocking Urban Dictionary) look at the dates on some of the latest words?

      Like I said...this dictionary has been online since 1999 and contains the "latest" slang on the internet today.

      Now...correct me if I'm wrong.

      Like I've always said, "...there's one no matter where ya go...  If not...they come looking for ya."

         ::)

        you're all missing the point.

        if it was last updated in 1999, THEN you could claim it's old.

        In fact- the fact that the site has been online for almost 10 years should make a statement of it's reliability, especially given how quickly sites seem to come and go.


        By the same margin we can call various other sites old- Google, for example- and goodness, the Microsoft site has been around since like 1992, so that's old. Nobody should visit it ever. In fact, running windows updates connects to microsoft.com. you should add a hosts entry just to avoid connecting to this old site. Sure, it means you can't update, but at least you won't have to deal with a well established web-site. I hate those. I prefer new sites, complete with javascript errors and CSS positioning issues.
