A healthcare worker ran her own Boston Marathon to spell out "Boston Strong" but she spelled it wrong

I suspect Urban Dictionary still lacks entries for real things, while also having a lot of random, nonsensical chaff as well… which just confuses things.

When doing web searches for terms as diverse as non-English words (including English misspellings, acronyms and terms from fiction) to given names, I end up getting results from Urban Dictionary. Usually, if I actually look at them, they’re unconvincing and often nonsensical as slang terms. They’re either so vague the writer clearly doesn’t have a specific or real act in mind (the above entry), or are so incredibly specific there’s no way it works as slang (e.g. most of the given name entries). There’s a lot of random crap in there.

That’s (a big) part of it. Also driving trollies. Also there are tons of first names in there, which I’m pretty sure are actually just kids describing a crush of theirs in flattering terms for some reason.

If you’ve heard a slang term in the real world (def. have heard “tenting” IRL), the Urban Dictionary entry is probably at least vaguely accurate. Searching for random terms in it, looking for secret slang meanings you’ve never heard of, however, most likely isn’t based on anything, based on the unexpected matches I get from various web searches.
