Cameron made me aware of the Urban Dictionary so I decided to do some research on it. I was surprised to find this, "But if the radiant array of terminology uploaded to the site was initially meant to function as a possibility of human speech, it is now mostly a repository of vile language. In its current form, Urban Dictionary is a cauldron of explanatory excess and raw prejudice." www.wired.com/story/urban-dictionary-20-years/ |

The reality is you can pick up an unabridged official dictionary and by studying the etymology of different words then find vileness and the raw prejudice behind the original meanings.
How each of us use words indicates a lot about our individual psychological states, as in what drives or motivates us as individuals. It might be better for you to query a PhD in linguistics though, since all I've done is ponder on what I've read through the decades.
For now I need to get back to duty. Their Graces want dinner.
