Neben den üblichen englischen Wörterbüchern, Nachschlagewerken und Übersetzungsdiensten im Web gibt es auch solche, die die eher “straßennahe” Terminologie dokumentieren, so auch das Urban Dictionary.
Zwei Auszüge:
Slang
The ever-evolving bastardization of the written and spoken language as a result of social and cultural idolization of uneducated, unitelligable celebrities.
“Aw shnap, son. Check out the fine ass sho-tee rockin’ all dat ice.”Translation: “Hello, my good sir. Take a gander at the beautiful woman wearing the expensive jewels.”
blog
a place where people bitch about their daily activities which nobody is interested in. topics like why they argue with boyfriend and how they end up together at last, daily aneroxic activities like drinking blended organic fruits and vegetable for breakfast, lunch and dinner, talking about cutting themselves with a razor blade and how good they felt, bitch about their shopping activities and what they got.
just another way to seek attention and sympathy from other people.
Sample of a blog entry:
“Today i argued with my babypooh, he got mad a me just because justin asked me out for lunch, he ended up ignoring me and not calling me. i don’t know what i’ve done wrong and why am i crying over it right now. it’s just stupid, he’s not the man that he used to be, i still remember how he treats me when we first started, it was all so nice and perfect. but now, we’re like arguing over small matters almost every week. i don’t think i can take this anymore, i’m just tired of this relationship.owh look, someone actually commented on my previous entry.”
Die außergewöhnliche Vielfalt der Begriffe variiert in ihrem Niveau wie eine Sinuskurve.
Um das Motto der Seite zu unterstützen, finden sich unter vielen Begriffen Zitate, die den Slang über das Suchwort suggerieren.
Ebenfalls hervorzuheben ist, dass es zu vielen Begriffen und Phrasen (!) mehrere Erläuterungen gibt:
Mc Donalds
1) Contrary to popular belief, McDonalds in NOT a restaurant. Restaurants usually COOK food. McDonalds just heats it back up in a damn microwave. Nearly a synonym with hellhole. Known to hire hobos. Average IQ of people inside is 7. This is due to the brain shutting down from the sheer nastiness of their food. Prolonged exposure almost always results in permanent, extensive brain damage.
McDonalds is where yo go to get retarded.2) A fastfood “so-called” resturant which you can count on disgusting food that isn’t cooked anywhere near a appealing level.
The Counter staff also has a nasty attitude as well worldwide.
“Uhoh, since my friend is going to Mc Donalds, it’s time to give him a barf bag for his own sake!”
Während die Kommentare unter den Artikeln häufig den wenig gehaltvollen YouTube-Diskussionen ähneln (…), machen unzählige witzige, einfallsreiche Artikel das Urban Dictionary zu einem unterhaltsamen Lesezeichen, das - einmal angesurft - bestimmt nicht nach dem ersten Begriff verlassen wird ;)
