Know yourself better -- Internet Hobby of the week

What happens when you take Wikipedia and mix it with Dictionary.com? You end up with the Urban Dictionary. At Urban Dictionary's website, definitions are submitted by users and then voted upon by visitors. Words that normally don't make it (link nsfw) past Webster's strict standards easily top the charts on the Urban Dictionary.

So think about it... Doesn't it suck that you can't add yourself to Wikipedia's website? Fortunately, at Urban Dictionary your more than welcome to define yourself. In fact, you may find that your name has already been defined!

Here's the definition of the first half of my name:

1. john
love it 1564 up, 385 down hate it

a person who uses the services of a prostitute
"Police ran a sting on the newcomer johns at the whorehouse"
2. john
love it 681 up, 332 down hate it

A toilet, outhouse, etc. Referred to in the movie Robin Hood Men in Tights, in which they were named after the awful king, Prince John.
"Here is the new Bill that has been sent to you, Mr. President."


Not too flattering, huh?

Here's the definition of my girlfriend's name:

1. Maria
love it 383 up, 90 down hate it

The most sexy girl you will ever meet, known to blow the minds of many men. Extremely talented and beautiful, eyes cut from stars.
The song. "Maria.. I just met a girl named Maria."


And every word of it is true!

So what are you waiting for? Look yourself up from here:
