urbandictionary is like a jungle with many vines. or for argument's sake a haystack with many needles. my point is you have to look for the good definitions. and sometimes you come across a gem. i salute you, TakaTakaTacos11, and your seven other twisted yet entertainingly crafted definitions.
[ad urbem for a sec: the urbandictionary folks never really showcase the authors of definitions, more just the definitions themselves. i guess being a dictionary they can claim that right... but my gripe is that their biggest appeal is that anyone (i.e. the little man) can write a definition. that's nice of them, only it then seems so snarky to then choose not to celebrate those who were at one point reached out to and then who contributed, essentially anonymously, a great deal of time and energy towards something they were inclined to be passionate about. especially since everyone pretty much grows up having the same opinion about dictionaries. people say "oh i hate dictionaries, they're so big and heavy." -- yeah, they're made out of words. all words in fact. smaller ones have fewer words, they're less heavy. there's just not much wiggle room in a case against dictionaries. what's not to believe exists when you first arrive at comprehending it? the one with just words, called a dictionary, got it.]
here is this guy, Nick D -- he has been writing definitions since '03, and he's written 746 of them. they've gotten mostly positive feedback. and all i know is that his name is Nick D.
cheers, nick.
