Urban Dictionary Week on Facebook users changing their images

Urban Dictionary Week on Facebook. Urban Dictionary is taking the Internet World by storm. Already the breakout buzz word on Yahoo Buzz, Urban Dictionary is the website where you can find out the "street" meaning of words and names. It has over 4 million words.

But apparently it's also used to give to terms and meaning to words, or make up new ones like "Street Creep":

1. A new perjorative term for Wall Street executives who raked in huge bonuses while plunging the world into economic chaos.

2. A financial advisor who sells Wall Street products on commission.

Or "The time":

Giving the time to someone means having sexual intercourse with that person.
Salinger uses this phrase quite often in his novel, The Catcher in the Rye.

"I don't think he gave that girl the time that night-but damn near."

  1. This got started on my facebook page Tuesday @ 2:55pm 2/2/10. By 8:33pm that evening it had made it to the UB facebook site and went viral from there. Insane how these things take off. Credit goes to Vanessa and Dominic for getting the ball rolling.
