Hello slang fans!

Days on which users edited/added slang:

I have updated the site visuals. It wasn't a big change. The right side-bar is gone. Some of its content has moved to the top of the page. Stop by the blog and let me know what you think.

Improvements to site search; many new updates

Hello slang fans!

Yesterday I made some improvements to the site search, so it should be easier to find definitions. This will be an ongoing process so search results will improve over time. You can leave feedback about the search feature (or anything else) on the blog.

I made the root words feature more efficient. If a slang term contains "the" or "a", the list of words containing those roots have been restored.

Recent slang updates:

Don't forget that The Online Slang Dictionary is now a wiki. Logged-in users can add new definitions and edit existing ones.

The Online Slang Dictionary is now a wiki

Hello slang fans!

For a couple of months, logged-in users have been able to submit new slang words to the dictionary via the website. I'm happy to announce a new feature: logged-in users can now edit existing definitions. Look for the "Edit this definition" links.

Additional tweaks are forthcoming, such as the ability to view the edit history of a term.

If you have any feedback, stop by the blog and leave a comment.

Hello slang fans!

I've recently added 5 sets of slang updates:

I made some tweaks to the root words feature.

  • If a slang term contains "the" or "a", the list of words containing those roots aren't shown. (They made the web pages take longer to download.) When I write the code to make those lists more efficient, I'll restore them.
  • Plural words are now de-pluralized.

If you have any feedback, come by the blog and leave a comment.

Feature announcement: Root words

Hello slang fans!

When viewing a definition, you will now see a list of all slang terms in the dictionary that share the same word(s). For example, on the definition page for as much use as a handbrake on a canoe, you'll find a list of all slang terms that contain "as", a list of all slang terms that contain "much", "use", "canoe", and so on.

I've also recently added 4 sets of slang updates:

Don't forget that you can add new slang words and definitions directly via The Online Slang Dictionary website.
