For those of us who like to define their our words or keep up with the latest trends turn your attention to www.urbandictionary.com . It's been around since 1999 and it is user centered. Put in any word and you'll get many different definitions. Some are funny, some are serious/true and some are just plain stupid. The interesting part is that these definitions come from all over the world.
For example I put in library, here are some of the definitions:
1.
library
139 up, 26 down

"Hey, I am going to the lie-berry!" "You're pretty retarded"

library
89 up, 7 down
An awesome place that is underrated in today's society. Think about it - where else can you chill in an air-conditioned place, that's quiet, where you can read a cool mag or surf the net, where you can take a nap, check out movies, meet some friends for a game of chess or cards, read about whatever you like, get free bookmarks, talk to some fine librarians, walk around aimlessly, find out how glow-in-the-dark works..... and all for free!
Dude 1: "Man, it's hot and humid outside. There's nothing to do in here. Dang I'm bored." Dude 2: "How about we go to the library?" Dude 1: "Man that sounds boring." Dude 2: "Seriously, just try it. I'll show you some cool stuff over there." Dude 1: "OK... we'll see." ..............1 month later Dude 1: "Hey man let's go to the library. Come on man get up." Dude 2: "But we just came back from there 2 hours ago." Dude 1: "Dude, that's a long time!"

A place where you can borrow CDs, DVDs, software, and books for free! And best of all, you don't have to worry about giving your money to evil greedy organizations such as the RIAA or MPAA OR getting sued by them!
Now that I get all my movies from the library, I don't have to worry about my money going to the MPAA or getting sued by them!

The Center area of gloves or mittens where your fingers can meet to warm up especially when outside in the winter. This definition comes from the movie "The Day after tomorrow" when the cold comes and the group of new yorkers go into the library to stay warm.
Rebecca: Hey Zack, I am going to go to the Library. Zack: I know what you mean; my hands are freezing too.
