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!

Eldest child : the one who does all the chores and gets no love and no attention.
As the oldest child in my house, I can somewhat relate.

Or as I like to say, test subject, guinea pig, one who gets blamed for fighting even if they are in the other room, has the highest expectations for everything, and the one who wonders how their siblings got so messed up

The Eldest child = the cat who I call sister and is the couple of months older then me.
As the youngest child of 2 with two parents. I actually have 3 parents
Depends on the culture. In some cultures the eldest child is pampered because they are the oldest and they grow up to be a douche.
Mama's unabashed favorite child. She loves us all, but she known him longest.
This is so not the truth. I was the youngest of four. Got called stupid and dumb by my older brothers, sometimes even by my mom simply because I didn't know as much as my OLDER brothers. One brother hit me multiple times a day and the oldest would get high and beat the crap out of me, sent me to the hospital twice and the only thing my mom did was ask me what did I do that made my brother beat me. Had to learn to make my own food when my mom worked because neither of my brothers would do anything to help me. So really f**k off older sibs.
Absolutely not true in my family. I’m the youngest but more was expected of me than of my brothers.
Back in the old days i used to do chores… the eldest child when he was 9: I AM GONNA ISOLATE MYSELF UNTIL I TURN 21 SO THEN I CAN LEAVE THIS HOUSE FOREVER.
Eldest child: The one whose “baby book” is filled to the brim with entries about every event in the special child’s life. Youngest child: The one whose baby book has only two entries: “date of birth” — and “time of birth” with a question mark.
That is not true, I'm the oldest and my little brother is convinced that he is my mom.
Eldest child: one who is always telling the truth, but never belived.
it's a little bit true, but i feel like most parents just give up on their third child and pay more attention to their second & first
The one that thinks it knows it all and likes to boss everyone around! At least in my house!
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
And you also get their salary, right? *chuckles nervously without real hope*
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
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.
Cat: a small but powerful murderer so adorable that you love, house, and feed it. See also: Stockholm Syndrom.
March 2022: The time when we start watching Cats (2019) because there's nothing else and we have to resort to Taylor Swift Furry Edition
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.
BEST FRIEND: The person who tells you your problems are more than she can handle and then hands you a piece of paper with the name and phone number of someone she’s had recommended by a different friend. Based on a true story!
Alternate definition, the hours of school in which feel like an eternity.
