Definitions

Have you ever had a chance to browse through the Urban Dictionary?

I looked up Shazza - not too nice. Here is one version:

The australian word for trailer trash/white trash unclassy women. On rare occassions used as a condensed nickname for someone named Sharon, but most of the time, its a descriptive term, to warn others of trashy women in the vicinity.

here's another:

likes drinking, smoking and being loud in public places. Sex is almost compulsory by the age of 14 and a baby is this girls favourite toy by the time she gets to 19. Female form of rudeboy.

Hmmmmm...I'm starting to wonder why my British colleagues call me this now? All this time I thought it was just a nickname for my real name?! A term of endearment!?

Now - I'm not so sure!

Those are Australian definitions, but your buds are from England. Could be it means something entirely different there, like, Fabu Gal Pal.

Shazza said...

This is true. I showed the definition to one of my buddies over there who responded:

"Oh...heaven's NO!...that is not what it means in Oxford!"

I just gave her a big hug!

finn said...

I looked up Finn (which is a name I too got from a friend)

Five dollars worth of any drug, most typically marijuana. Usually a spur of the moment purchase in the vicinity of half a gram or less, depending on the quality, area and dealer. Usually measured by eye due to the smallness of the purchase.

"Yo man, can I grab a finn off of ya? I just need to make some quick spliffs for tonight."

wow...that defines me.

Shazza said...

FINN! Are you totally spliffacated?

Kari Hultman said...

Here's a laugh, I checked the definition of my real first name and it says:

1.Kari
The best person in the world

I'm thinking that Urban Dictionary is a load of doo-doo. Ignore it.

Shazza said...

Well...maybe you are and your modesty and humble wood working nature just doesn't let it get to your head!

I am sure if I ask PB she would think you're the best person in the world!?!?

Middle Girl said...

My real middle name is there--who knew?

1.A cute girl.
2.A gun.
3.A skilled person.
4.A bird.

or...a skilled cute girl with bird instead of a gun.
