Are you one who has a way with words? If juggling with words is your forte, then this site is definitely your choice. Urbandictionary.com is a perfect place to be in for all wordaholics who can put even the best lexicographer to shame. Urban dictionary can rightly be called internet's unofficial slang authority. Founded by Aaron Peckham in the year 2001, the site was an instant hit and earned stupendous success in a short span of time. Today, with more than three hundred thousand definitions, the site is the most comprehensive source of information for slang words. All the words are voted by the users and depending on the number of votes they receive, are conferred with thumbs-up or down rating.

Urbandictionary.com is mainly built on users contributions and is a major source of entertainment for millions of people out there. The content of the site is also rich in internet jargons and neologisms. The site is not just a reference guide but is a reliable authoritative source for all, even the lexicographers. Another special feature is that majority of the users are below the age of 25.

The site has often faced allegations for showing personal, racist, sexist or violent entries but the authorities brush them aside, as such terms are unavoidable and form a major share of the slangs. The site takes a lot of care before uploading the definitions on site and each entry is thoroughly reviewed by a group of volunteers or quality controllers. In spite of all criticisms and controversies it generates, the site is still going strong, spinning success with its immense popularity with the masses.

The site exercises a renewed reviewing system whereby the new entries are sent to an editing queue before it goes on air. The words with single definitions thus occupy the initial positions in the queue and the rest are listed towards the end of the queue.

The site has won wide accolades and has several honors to its credit like the Alexa rating as one among the 2000 most trafficked web sites and appraisal from the Times of London. The site has a simple yet smart look though not immensely attractive. It does not make use of bright gaudy colors or pictures but yet is appeasing to the eye with the well organized and rich content. Navigation is easy and free of complexities. Options like word of the day, browse, add, edit, chat and newest are all highly absorbing.

Check out this site for cutting edge slang and join the bandwagon of the cool dudes of the urban world!
