50 new slang words for Monday at The Online Slang Dictionary

Monday's update - direct from the submission queue - is available here.

Also, in case you missed the last update, The Online Slang Dictionary now features SlangMaps - maps of the world showing where each slang term is used. Stay tuned for a way to put yourself on the map.

(If the maps weren't appearing for you, try again now. I fixed a bug that affected Internet Explorer version 7.)

Announcing SlangMaps on The Online Slang Dictionary

Slang use varies by country and even by areas within a country. Who uses what slang? Before, you'd have to read linguistic journals. Not any longer.

The Online Slang Dictionary now features SlangMaps: interactive maps that show you where slang terms are used.

Visit The Online Slang Dictionary at http://onlineslangdictionary.com/ to click, drag, zoom in, and find out whether it's okay to say "hella" in New York or "y'all" in California.

Let me know what you think.

P.S. The maps were created with submissions I've already received. Soon you'll be able to put yourself on the map. Stay tuned.

P.S. In my previous announcement I alluded to a cool feature that will be added to the dictionary this week. It's still on its way!

50 more slang words at The Online Slang Dictionary

Today's update, comprising 50 new slang words, is available here.

As I mentioned in the last update, I've been doing a bunch of little improvements to make the dictionary easier to use. I listed several of them then, but noted that I had more to share. Here's the rest of the list:

• I've been adding words directly from the submission queue. Look for the "Featured Word" star image which indicates entries that have been edited for correctness, completeness, and that have been placed in the thesaurus.
• I've reorganized the navigation tabs so navigation is now much easier.
• There's a new, handy "Word List" navigation tab so you can view a list of all slang words in the dictionary.

And there's something really exciting in store for the dictionary in the next few days. Stay tuned!
