The Urban Dictionary

Topics

If Wikipedia is too dry or too objective for you, then the Urban Dictionary will give you some cool slang definitions to quote around. Some examples to give you a chuckle :

* Sun : Sun Microsystems. As in Damn that stock is going down like Sun Microsystems.

* Marriage : Suicide in it's worst form.
Jerry: Dude, Ben committed marriage yesterday.
Joe: Holy shit dude. Well, so much for hanging out with ben.

* Frodo : that last bit of poo that wont drop into the toilet : an annoying little shit that wont let go of the ring. As in :
-Are you okay in there?
-Yeah, but I gotta frodo. Come back in like 10 minutes

London silly tube maps

Topics

Ever took the London tube at Castrate Angel station ? Or Queerer Elastics ? That are some of the names on the London Tube Anagram map, one of the many silly London tube maps on Geofftech.co.uk. But not all maps are humurous by nature : some maps indicate useful stuff for every London commuter : distance and timings between stations, or maps showing dotted walk lines between stations where less than 500 metres, and thus quicker to walk than to take the train between stations.
