The Online Slang Dictionary
The Online Slang Dictionary is a collaborative project and an indispensible source for anyone who writes or edits contemporary (mostly urban) American slang. Particularly when used in speech, slang can provide color and help establish character, but many of us aren’t sure how to spell some of these strange phrases we hear, and this is where the slang dictionary comes in. You can search for a word or phrase to find its most common spelling or meaning (also useful if you have teenagers), consult a map to see where the word is most often used, and send in your own slang suggestions if you know of a term that is not already included. This site does include explicit and/or vulgar terms, so if you are squeamish about such things, consider yourself warned.
