>Pissing match.
I like that.
The UD specialises in cataloging slang and sweary words. This linguistic terrain is so very protean, rich, creative and varigated that a mere 581 new words a day—from the millions and millions of Netizens in the multicultural, global theatre of cyberspace—is somewhat underwhelming.
And, I maintain that it is a valuable resource. No, I won't find the UD much use if I am trying to get through Hypnerotomachia Poliphili, but if I'm playing an on-line game and someone tells me that I have been "pwned", and I have no idea what they are talking about, the UD is my friend.
>Untested
It didn't occur to me to point this out earlier, but, if I am not deceived, the UD uses a voting-system to determine the order in which definitions appear—a kind of epistemological democracy, if you will.
