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??

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.

Vancouver is an island-city in Western Canadia that calls itself Hollywood North, also known as the city of bums, but everyone knows is just a lame excuse for a Canadian SeattleSan FranciscoPortland. Currently Vancouver is hosting the LOLympics.

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

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

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.

The epitome of baller; one who makes 14 Canadian dollars every 60 minutes of performing their managerial job at Church's Chicken on 41st and Fraser. Signs and symptoms include: wearing the same clothes every day, buying fake Oakley sunglasses from Night Market, bicep push. :haha:

What about BBT, is that more of a here asian thing/canadian thing? Cause I've talked to a while bunch of ppl from the states and they all are like wtf? its boba.


There seems to be 2 topics going on in this thread. One which people think it is about specific people/events (which would work great with the upcoming wiki). But OP's idea si slang words used here, not storys or famous RS people etc.

yah.. I find that too! When I'm talking to my frds in the States and say bbt, they have no idea what I'm talking about. When I tell them, then they're like ohhhhhh, you mean boba!

its a combination of RS + Wiki
