THE CENTER FOR SLANG
THE CENTER FOR SLANG
VANCOUVER, B.C. (Wireless Flash) A Canadian word-lover has created a clearinghouse for new slang on the Internet. Its called Pseudodictionary.com and contains almost 6000 slang words submitted by net-heads all over North America including terms like internet bitch slap and surfworm, the internet equivalent of a book worm. 23-year-old website creator Paul Jarvis says hes been making up new slang words all his life and started the slang dictionary so others could legitimize their made-up words. He says hes picked up plenty of new slang himself since starting the site earlier this year, including .... Cinewobble, which is when you stumble around the movie theater after the show ends and the lights come up. Hubba jubba refers to a mans love handles. Outsert is the opposite of insert. And, finally, wuss-rock is cheesy, sappy music made by male musicians, usually boy bands.
