6 Ridiculous Sneaker Terms From Urban Dictionary (That We Never Heard of Either) | Highsnobiety

In a lot of ways (most ways), Urban Dictionary is the complete opposite of a regular dictionary, but Urban Dictionary certainly keeps up with the evolution of slang much better than more established gatekeepers like Merriam-Webster and the Oxford English Dictionary.

Entries on Urban Dictionary tend to be subjective, not researched, misspelled, and frequently just absurd, but therein lies the beauty and the hilarity of the platform. On the front page, a large blue button prompts visitors to define their own word, and some of you have been doing just that.
