Remember in Mean Girls when Gretchen Wieners was "trying to make 'fetch' happen"? (It's "not going to happen," by the way.) Well, the next time you think your friend, co-worker, or annoying wannabe Valley Girl neighbor uses a newfangled version of the English language, head on over to the Urban Dictionary to check out it's validity and proper usage.
Designed with an easy-to-use alphabetic browsing tool, as well as a search function, Urban Dictionary has over 4 million slang entries accumulated since it's inception in 1999. Just feel like poking around? The main page features randomly selected words to peruse at your leisure.
The best part, in my opinion? For each definition, there is a link to another site that will print the word and definition on a coffee mug! Give your make-up loving friend a cup that says "Mascary" (someone that wears too much mascara) or your free-spirit-hating buddy one printed with "Hippie Catcher" across the front (breaking a bottle to spread the shards of glass everywhere, usually in a public place, to catch barefoot flower children).
