Vancouver Slang Dictionary
 
I want to undertake a project that is like a dictionary of slang that is unique to Vancouver.

Its gonna be like urban dictionary but more Vancouver-oriented. Does anyone know a good or free platform to use??

btw does anyone want to participate in this too??

Sounds like an interesting project. I would totally support you and help you out.

How many entries do you think there would possibly be?

SkinnyPupp 04-07-2010 07:29 PM

RS will be getting a wiki soon, you can put it in there :)

quite a lot actually. I've always thought that Vancouver has a very interesting slang.

I'd be somewhat down for this. I've got friends here in Surrey that I never hear anywhere else if you intend to include the rest of the GVRD.

Also, I wonder who will write the AsNoobAsItGets and 14 dolla balla wiki entries.

ShadowBun 04-07-2010 09:06 PM

this will be interesting

BrRsn 04-07-2010 09:19 PM

man everyone should know about these c lais

frojoe 04-07-2010 09:37 PM

Can we get a list of potential entries for (my) entertainment?

woob 04-07-2010 09:38 PM

2 words I use with some regularity:

foig: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=foig
ceeb: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ceeb

BaoXu 04-07-2010 09:56 PM

LOL... wow I have never heard of foig nor ceeb.

what's the best platform to do this in? I originally thought of wiki, but it doesn't look as friendly as urbandictionary.. I want a platform like urbandictionary where people can also define it themselves or comment on the definition or add their own.

I grew up in east van and burnaby so I kinda know the ghetto urban slang

SkinnyPupp 04-07-2010 09:58 PM

Wait for the RS wiki

okay since we are on topic.. are people from vancouver the only ones who use the term "lg"? cause apparently alot of people dont know that it stands for little girl..

DanHibiki 04-07-2010 10:18 PM

I dated a Toronto girl who has never heard the term "honger" til she got to Vancouver. None of her friends back in TO heard of it too.

I never heard that term except on RS. It seems like nothing more than a PC version of "jailbait" anyway

It's not very common in HK either. You hear more people use "Hongky" instead, which I think is stupid

ShadowBun 04-07-2010 10:26 PM

reminded me when I was using the term LG all my friends thought I was referring to the brand.

i guess lifes good for little girls

Pedobear's slogan is "Life's good when you have Little girls"

rsx 04-07-2010 10:39 PM

You're probably going to end up with a bunch of nerd/internet slangs or RS inside jokes. No one's going to get it and it'll make Vancouver look weird.
