Lindsey Pritchett - Urban Dictionary

Urban dictionary is, perhaps, one of my favorite tools to use in my free time. In terms of satire, it's a great device for entertainment. Also, it's fascinating because it collects the variations in slang that circulate throughout my generation as the word become popular. Also, it offers the "youthful" perspective on places. For example, when looking up "Newport News" on Urban Dictionary, the individual will see that the slang term "bad newz" is listed in the definition, a term that is often used to describe this place. Most of the students at CNU refer to Newport News as "bad newz" merely because of the alleged crime rate. If you look up "Morgantown" the site offers a thorough description of what it is like to attend the university as a student, all the way down to the specifics of listing individuals who have broken their cellphones in inopportune happenstances. Furthermore, Urban Dictionary funded a project, a book, that is aimed at speakers of foreign languages. The book is a directory to curse words and all the various ways Americans implement curse words in the form of slang, or a deviation from the word's intended/original meaning.
