Urban Dictionary is an interesting open dictionary which enable users to define slang words. It is very interesting to look at the way people like to refer to things they see every day. An interesting fact, which is part of my research interests, is that things gets a meaning through a social network. The service support this idea providing a way for visitors to rate the definition and to promote deletion of offensive content.
