Whois & Analysis for onlineslangdictionary.com

A slang dictionary is a reference book containing an alphabetical list of slang, vernacular vocabulary not generally acceptable in formal usage, usually including information given for each word, including meaning, pronunciation, and etymology.

It can provide definitions on a range of slang from more mundane terms (like "rain check" or "bob and weave") to obscure sexual practices.

Such works also can include words and phrases arising from different dialects and argots, which may or may not have passed into more common usage.

They can also track the changing meaning of the terms over time and space, as they migrate and mutate.

This makes them of interest to a variety of people, from oral historians, to etymologists, to the casual browser.

In general usage, a thesaurus is a reference work that lists words grouped together according to similarity of meaning (containing synonyms and sometimes antonyms), in contrast to a dictionary, which provides definitions for words, and generally lists them in alphabetical order.

The main purpose of such reference works is to help the user "to find the word, or words, by which [an] idea may be most fitly and aptly expressed" – to quote Peter Mark Roget, architect of the best known thesaurus in the English language.

A definition is a statement of the meaning of a term (a word, phrase, or other set of symbols).

Definitions can be classified into two large categories, intensional definitions (which try to give the essence of a term) and extensional definitions (which proceed by listing the objects that a term describes).

Another important category of definitions is the class of ostensive definitions, which convey the meaning of a term by pointing out examples.

A term may have many different senses and multiple meanings, and thus require multiple definitions.

Urban planning is a technical and political process concerned with the development and use of land, planning permission, protection and use of the environment, public welfare, and the design of the urban environment, including air, water, and the infrastructure passing into and out of urban areas, such as transportation, communications, and distribution networks.

Urban planning is also referred to as urban and regional planning, regional planning, town planning, city planning, rural planning or some combination in various areas worldwide.

It takes many forms and it can share perspectives and practices with urban design.

Reality is the state of things as they actually exist, rather than as they may appear or might be imagined.

Reality includes everything that is and has been, whether or not it is observable or comprehensible.

A still broader definition includes that which has existed, exists, or will exist.
