Urban Dictionary
I have included this for completeness and advice that a number of the entries are grossly inappropriate for children and younger audiences.

Essentially it is an online reference database specifically for street slang, contemporary swear-words and colloquial insults. Note also that I suspect a number of the entries are made up.

For my pennies worth, it says it all for the current generation that good English has degenerated to the point where reference sites like have a place. Call me old fashioned if you like, but I really don't see the logic of acting and sounding stupid to appear smart, or 'cool'!
