Fun with Urban Dictionary

Next time someone responds with the word "Whatever" to something you have said and you aren't sure where he or she is coming from, check the Urban Dictionary online. This dictionary is created to provide definitions for common slangs, cultural phrases and vulgarism often not found in ordinary dictionaries. Its unique features lies in the fact that anyone can contribute definitions though there is some regulating done by volunteers. As at Mar 2013 there are 7 million definitions in the dictionary.
So the beauty is in having many definitions for a single word or phrase. Definitions are ranked based on the number of "likes" garnered from readers

For example the slang "Whatever" has 62 definitions with the most favoured definition capturing more than 13,500 'likes' and which reads as follow :

Whatever  - used in an argument to admit that you are wrong without admitting it so the argument is over.
Other well like definitions for 'Whatever' include:

• "Indifference to what a person is saying! Who cares!;Get a Life!"
• "A polite and less vulgar alternative to FUCK YOU"
• " Either an idiot's response to an intellectual's question, or an intellectual's response to an idiot's question"- (I like this most) 

The definitions are usually not just confined to meaning of the words or phrases but often come with opinion on their usage. So for example someone has this to say about the word "Amazing":
-Over used word. Usually by teenage airhead girls. Amazing was once a word to describe something outstanding and wonderful. Now, teenage girls have overused the word. And have ruined it all.

How I discovered this wonderful dictionary was when my daughter was describing someone as a douchebag. No matter how she tried I wasn't able to get the right meaning or really the right flavour.
 "Ah" I exclaimed, "Maybe douchebags are like those smirk and arrogant young bankers who used to push sell new products to our company".

That was when she asked me to look up Urban Dictionary which amongst many had these to offer for 'Douchebag';

• ' An individual who has an over-inflated sense of self worth, compounded by a low level of intelligence, behaving ridiculously in front of colleagues with no sense of how moronic he appears'.
• ' Someone who has surpassed the levels of jerk and asshole, however not yet reached fucker or motherfucker'

"Maybe 'SmartyPant' is a better word for those guys" she offered.

I then checked SmartyPant which read "someone who displays intelligence in an annoying way"
Hmm...not quite really, the intelligence part. The annoying part maybe.
