Dictionaries are usually good at explaining things, but when it comes to language that we can all relate to, they sometimes leave us high and dry. This Instagram account is here to be honest with us about what our favourite words really mean.
HipDict is a croudsourced photo dictionary that publishes people's alternate views on a whole host of terms, and even coins new words. Not only are they hilarious, they're also shockingly accurate. The page, which used to be an offshoot of app 8Fact before carving out its own identity, has almost cracked 2 million followers.
We rounded up some of the smartest re-definitions we found on HipDict, and added a couple of our own that they were missing.

Alternative definitions: Left-winged: when society, state and the capital have exploited you. Right-winged: when you could not get off your lazy a*s.
Its one of the downsides of procrastination as I have been reminded many times.
Load More Replies...Or decorating places for eco-promotion events with real tree branches and leaves.
Load More Replies...Another ironic thing: useless sign in my art class that nobody looks at "Don't waste paper!" The sign is made of paper.
The day after tomorrow is safer, so you can reserve tomorrow for relaxation from the tiring procrastination from today.
Tomorrow: A mystical land where 99% of all motivation to do work is stored
And the only ones that keep what you tell them to themselves. They can never repeat your secrets.
The only reason I go to anyone's house is that I hope there will be a pet there!
No, but Charlie really Loves my cooking anyway. lol
Load More Replies...I am enjoying myself. This is among the most valuable things I could do with my time. Who else thinks so?
Agreed. Also you can always learn something too.
Load More Replies...Damn you got me! But I'm a pro at procrastinating, so I'm technically working right now!
Hahaha this is so true. Why is this so fasinatin- interesting?
Or words that just sound better than the one you are thinking of...
I can relate to this. The Bulgarian spelling is, as my grammar and literature teacher says,absolutely il...i...illogical.Huh...
......and its the "Single" biggest No-No of any relationship. Common Sense 101
I don't really like this one. Maybe I'm being oversensitive, but . . .
Yeah it is more complicated. I feel like they are being a bit insentive.
Load More Replies...Yet, they are there to torture us! It's like one week of actual knowledge I achieved in school, that I needed afterwards! If only I wouldn't have forgotten everything right after the exams and tests, which are always designed to learn by heart for. Indeed, besides not teaching the last bit of existential knowledge for life, school can cause traumas, not even the "coolest" teacher really cares about helping to solve them, because they are all totally absorbed by pedagogically being right all the time.
It's Lego not Legos . . . how many times! Bilund have issued press releases asking people not to use 'Legos'
stepping on a lego batman helmet is worse than any other pain in the world
Lego (n.) A device used to finding your feet in the dark also usable to evacuate a party.
Boring: a word used by stupid people to describe people whose yokes they do not understand.
Wow, don't I remember reading like two definitions ago that a brain is something we all ha e buy not everyone uses? I believe they're the immature, not the boring haha
Really... mine just feels like a damn tracking device lol no matter where I go they can always find me ugh
If you ever saw a vicious vegetarian hunt down a slaughter a tofu-animal, you would be afraid. Very afraid.
The vicious tofu-animal is one of the most dangerous beasts in existence. Some say that the devil himself created this mysterious creature.
Load More Replies...It's not like non-vegetarians hunt down their own chicken. I'd really like to see a meat eater take down a full grown buffalo single handed!
But what normal person eats buffalo? I have no qualms about hunting animals, and would do so if I could aqcuire the rifle.
Load More Replies...& in the end the stuff that food eats consumed the planet of the hunters
you only live once, and if you do it right you can get it over with rather quickly.
Carpe diem, the ability grasp moral superiority by pretentious use a dead language
as i know carpe diem means catch the moment, yolo means live your life so good that in the end you wouldnt wish to carpe diem.
Carpe diem means 'seize the day' and YOLO stands for 'you only live once' which is essentially saying the same thing.
Load More Replies...It's the Grammar Police! Everyone run for their lives!
Load More Replies...And also, it's not everywhere that simply asking for a coffee means with milk lol. In Portugal, if you want milk in your coffee, you need to specify it 😅 and they all have different names too 🤣
Actually it takes courage to call caffe' American coffee..... Probably the Italian word latte ( that mean milk) describes better that light brown liquid...... Feel free to correct my sentence if i mispelled something. I'm Italian
I`ll come for my 7th grade reunion, because they are as crazy as me and even though I`m an introvert it wouldn`t be that bad.
I'm not going to go to one until my 50th so I can see who's still alive. Only 14 more years to go :o)
They are way scarier ( is that even a word? Or is it more scary?), at least for me :O
really ? i thougth it is the short form of "babe",the thing that i learn here :D
Load More Replies...So Bae in danish is correct... Before Anything Else go to the toilet and drop a bae
I heard people saying something like "rather does the donkey break a leg then going twice" ;)
Like all 30 of my grocery bags, because I'd rather break my arms off than make two trips? Sounds about right.
I lived in a 3rd floor walk up apartment when I was 21 and I've never been able to break the habit of carrying everything in one trip, even though I live in a house now. I'll line grocery bags up both arms to save myself a 50 ft trip back to my car. Lol
Load More Replies...At least you don't have to use tons of foreign terms when dealing with computers, marketing, business, games, etc.
It's actually quite sad when you live in a tiny country and your mother language is only spoken by a million people or so (I am from Estonia)
Especially idiotic people on the street, who you don`t know. I`m proud I use my brain.
Or: A saying from those people who can afford Business Class but do not make enough figures for First Class.
Haha. Do private jets not come in to this equation?
Load More Replies...I'm neither financially poor OR wealthy - money does not buy happiness.
Or a saying created by the rich to assure the poor they are not missing out on anything. Money may not buy "happiness" but it sure as hell makes life a lot easier!
But money can buy a penguin. And have you seen an unhappy person with a penguin?
in my twenties I was poor and it definitely sucked a**e now I have enough money to buy things that I want whenever and I'm so much happier.
'Money can't buy happiness... but it allows you to be miserable in comfort.' Plenty of wealthy, miserable people around. Anyone who thinks happiness comes from your wallet, hasn't found the real deal yet.
I'd really rather be rich and miserable that poor and miserable. At least if I'm miserably rich, I can be a philanthropist and make other people very happy.
The "usually from the opposite sex" part was so unnecessary. That sentence makes the exact same sense without it, so is it there? This one is biased
Relationship also doesn't have to refer to girlfriend and boyfriend relationship. It can be friends or family
I CAN'T realize when nobody's listening, so I keep talking until they tell me to stop. Most people hate me
Load More Replies...As a person with autism and ADHD, this is a really annoying this for me. I don't talk for long periods of time and people ask why don't you say something, so I do. Because it's been so long since I said anything, I just go verbal diarrhea on them, and they run away.
The disturbance of the surface water caused by throwing stones into a pond.
-An accurate description of my conversations I have with my dad- Me: ...And that's how I broke my leg. Dad: Oh, that's nice.
Or you've lost all interest but you don't stop the conversation out of politeness.
I have what I can call a 'bedrobe...': the art of just piling clothes on the bed. XD
That's what Y&Z generation's invent! Even there is no research for it!
Well, as a pro in this kind of stuff, I prefer using RoomDrobe. HouseDrobe.EverythingDrobe
it's more excuse to wear "exotic colours" while a young caddie transports you in a cute tiny white car. (omg, these contrasts, insta that!)
Or: I need to talk, you need to shut the f**k up and listen, a maybe beg for your life, thanks.
"5 months ago"..... Rest In Pepperoni random stranger who commented this. Rest In Pepperoni. *puts flowers on grave*
Load More Replies...Me: Headache WebMD: TUMOR TUMOR TUMO- Me: shuts of iPad
Load More Replies...nah... I prefer the "welcome to the cool side of the pillow" (read this in barry white voice)
The definition should be changed to: The only response you'll ever get from any boy through middle school and college.
commooon. my m-office word knows "online" but reguses to accept "offline".
As someone with a flat a*s, I can verify the validity of this definition.
If this is true I need to get myself a pair!!! Haha
Load More Replies...An orgasm lasts for five seconds but a large cake can last for a whole day or two.
It does for guys but girls... that lasts for about 30 seconds. The orgasm, that is.
Load More Replies...A guy who believes he deserves female attention without having to do anything or treat women with respect, and whose subsequent resentment of women due to his perception that he is not the cause of his own loneliness keeps women away.
The thing is the reason why some nice guys don't have girlfriends is because they expect women to automatically be interested in them just because they treat them nicely but some women may already be interested in someone else or they may even not be into guys and prefer girls instead.
A time where your parents taje away your phone and say "go outside" all day. Also, a place where no wifi exists.
just that :) http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Porb
Load More Replies...I am so guilty of this. At least I admit I have a problem which is the first step.
Somebody explain to me why this is bad so I might care enough to stop.
Sorry for bothering anyone, but I can't figure out how to publish an open list on bored panda. I know it's stupid, but can anyone help me?
