Urban Dictionary is about much more than the finer points of slang. It’s not even just about words in general. It’s also defining people—for better, for worse, and for no reason at all.
What am I prattling on about, you ask? Well, Urban Dictionary hosts quite a few pages devoted to specific names. To take one example, the top definition for “Miles” explains, “Miles is a sexy, masculine individual exuding the most desirable of traits.” Accurate! Scrolling down, however, one sees “Miles” alternatively defined as “a hairy orphan with plastic teeth.”
All that is to say: Parents should be damn careful when naming their newborns, lest they forever brand their darling child as someone who “smells like dead vagina.”
TIL: **DO NOT** Look at Urban Dictionary when thinking up names for your future child. Wow. Way to ruin everything
