Urban Dictionary: an online dictionary of slang words and phrases. Anyone with a Facebook account can make a submission, which is both a blessing and a curse. While quality control is a recurring issue, Urban Dictionary is a great way to expand your creative vocabulary. The words may or may not be legitimate, but with the Millennial generation's easy acceptance of everything from "Yolo" to "GDFR," we've proven ourselves as open-minded believers when it comes to creating new words and colloquialisms. Here are some you may not know, but definitely need in your life for immediate use.
