50 Of The Funniest And Most Honest “Definitions” Of Everyday Words Explained In This Crowd-Sourced Online Dictionary
As a linguist, I gotta say, dictionaries are hella interesting, not just because of the obscure etymologies or weird words you can find in them, but because of the rare and unheard of meanings that ordinary everyday words can have.
But then the internet one-ups the lexical game and becomes home to collaborative dictionaries that deal with words you wouldn’t see in traditional dictionaries. No, I’m not referring to the Urban Dictionary, but that’s a treasure in and of itself too. I’m talking about the HipDict.
HipDict is a crowd-sourced dictionary that redefines regular, everyday words with meanings that make much more sense in reality. While most dictionaries define words in concept, HipDict focuses on the spirit and nails it spot-on.
We have already covered entries from this dictionary on several occasions, like on this one and on this one, but it’s growing, and so we present to you new and unique entries in this lexical compendium.
Scroll down, vote on your favorites, and why not share some of your definitions to otherwise very mundane words in the comment section below!

Netflix definitely needs a filter to block: 1) Movies I've already seen and don't want to see again 2) Movies I started watching and decided were crap 3) Gratuitous gore 4) Incredible stupid $hit
Yes. Also seems to be a point for some (myself included) when you start using a foreign language more than your native tongue and you completely forget words in your own language before mastering the new one. You would feel stupid, if you could remember a word - any word- for that feeling.
