50 Of The Funniest And Most Honest “Definitions” Of Everyday Words Explained In This Crowd-Sourced Online Dictionary
As a linguist, I gotta say, dictionaries are hella interesting, not just because of the obscure etymologies or weird words you can find in them, but because of the rare and unheard of meanings that ordinary everyday words can have.
But then the internet one-ups the lexical game and becomes home to collaborative dictionaries that deal with words you wouldn’t see in traditional dictionaries. No, I’m not referring to the Urban Dictionary, but that’s a treasure in and of itself too. I’m talking about the HipDict.
HipDict is a crowd-sourced dictionary that redefines regular, everyday words with meanings that make much more sense in reality. While most dictionaries define words in concept, HipDict focuses on the spirit and nails it spot-on.
We have already covered entries from this dictionary on several occasions, like on this one and on this one, but it’s growing, and so we present to you new and unique entries in this lexical compendium.
Scroll down, vote on your favorites, and why not share some of your definitions to otherwise very mundane words in the comment section below!

I'm shamelessly overly truthful. But that's okay. I wouldn't want to work with someone who prefers dishonesty and plays games.
I want to start a petition to add 8 extra hours in a day to do whatever we want
Oh my gosh wait- it actually does! Except I hear the person ordering in like a French accent

Netflix definitely needs a filter to block: 1) Movies I've already seen and don't want to see again 2) Movies I started watching and decided were crap 3) Gratuitous gore 4) Incredible stupid $hit

It's the only option to be dressed. Though a few days did see Pj's only.
What are we supposed to do, then? Be naked, or wear yoga pants or tracksuits like wild beasts? Like animals? Like savages?
I just wore whatever clothes I wore the day before, and the day before that, and the day before that….

I put my pants on just like you, mister! Reluctantly. When the doorbell rings.
Well, that's me all the time until I get ready for bed, then it's still long pajama pants & a t-shirt.
I SLEEP in jeans most days... I haven't worn anything but for a while.. can't recall why
What else am I going to wear unless you want me to actually wash all my dirty sweatpants and great the delivery person in my birthday suit.
Jeans are so comfortable though. I've slept in my skinny jeans specifically a few times and I can say that it was no different to me than my usual sweatpants or pajama pants.
I will add that it's usually out of "Eh, I don't want to get up and change" laziness, but still.

The level intensifies if they sleep in their jeans. Lock them up in a straight jacket if they put them on before drying off completely after a shower, or when the jeans haven't fully dried from being washed.
Yes. Also seems to be a point for some (myself included) when you start using a foreign language more than your native tongue and you completely forget words in your own language before mastering the new one. You would feel stupid, if you could remember a word - any word- for that feeling.

I have a cousin who married the same guy thrice. Now she says that was 2x stupid.
Or a gif that expresses my reaction perfectly, but doesn't misappropriate another race and is from a celebrity I like.
