Slang City – This site contains “bad” words
As an alternative resource to UrbanDictionary.com, Slang City will help you understand the latest slang of American youth.
Slang City went online in November, 2002, but it really started in 1996 with a half a dozen Brazilian busboys in an Intermediate English grammar class. Their constant requests for information on slang led me to introduce a course in American Slang for foreign students at The Cambridge Center for Adult Education in Harvard Square. The class uses pop culture like Blind Date, Will & Grace, Friends, and the Jerry Springer Show to teach students about American slang and culture. It has run for the last 8 years and attracts not only restaurant workers, but also au pairs, high tech professionals, and PhD candidates from nearby Harvard University and MIT.
