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!

This always confused me. I eat chicken. I don't cluck and lay eggs. I eat eggs. I don't lay under a chicken until the farmer comes and collects me to be cracked or boiled.

I'd like to leave a comment about the current Situation in industrial livestock farming and industrial slaughterhouses. Big health issues and anxiety for the animals we eat... Just saying.

Not in tge UK. We have some of years best farming laws in the world. Battery hens are barred. Admittedly some farmers still breed "barn hens" which is nearly as bad, but on the whole it's about animal welfare

Actually, we are, quite literally, what we eat. The food is broken down and turned into into the cells in your body. Therefore, you are comprised of whatever you've eaten in the past few months.

I dunno. I'd imagine the animal felt that as it is being murdered for consumption.

I'm shamelessly overly truthful. But that's okay. I wouldn't want to work with someone who prefers dishonesty and plays games.

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.

Or a gif that expresses my reaction perfectly, but doesn't misappropriate another race and is from a celebrity I like.

Yeaaaaaaah, this year isn't turning out the way I wanted it to. And I don't even care about quarantine. I've had, like, five military planes fly overhead in the past hour and a half, and I'm not even in Ukraine or anything, I'm literally in the U.S. Midwest.

Yeah... I was at my friend's house staying for a few days and then I forgot to do the assignment from our teacher. My friend was like "No worries! I haven't started it either." And then I felt much better, because then I wouldn't be the only one. When we got back to school, we realized that 80% of the kids in my class haven't done it. We all got a detention :)

A sign my sleep schedule is screwed up again. I'm either sleeping for much of the day or I'm going to be going to bed before evening.

Parents and whoever is older than you / has any authority on you never apologize. They are too arrogant to do it.

In Denmark a double "a" actually forms the letter å - which is last in our alphabet - so a computer would put you last in the list ;-)

Being young is hard. It’s touted as the best time of your life, but it isn’t…even if you’re living the dream it still likely isn’t.
