o___O A new definition of Pocket PC...

[Sydney Bristow]

From http://thesurrealist.co.uk/slang.cgi:

Pocket PC
n. an old-school term for sex.
"Nigel, you can't threaten Pocket PC!"

...that's gross! x.x

[Dave Potter]

What the heck??? :? :?

[Janak Parekh]

That is indeed weird. Of course, when it comes to slang, you can probably find a unorthodox slang for most any phrase out there nowadays.

Oh, and putting on a moderator's cap for a second, let's tread carefully on this subject... thanks. :)

i put in poo, and it said my family member was addicted to porn. 8O

OK, this thing is most definitely bizarre.

help
n. LSD belonging to a friend.
"You have the most crude help, Grandma."

Admittedly, I've never been a drug user, so I don't know that slang, but it's... just bizarre. ;) Maybe I'm getting old? :|

Here's another weird one:

ha
n. a man.
"That's the most pretty ha I've ever seen!"

Update: Figured it out -- this site has an underlying agenda. Click the "Source" link at the bottom. I've never heard teens here use any of this lingo, so I don't put much stock into it.

Heh, anyone else happen to notice you can enter ANY phrase?

It's a random generator :mrgreen:

Typed in the most random thing I could think of:

King Tuts Gigantic Fishstick of Spacey Doom!
adj. likely to love LSD.
"Do you like my web site, bud?" "Yeah, it's King Tuts Gigantic Fishstick of Spacey Doom!."

Edit: More random!

The everlasting love of Kosmicki and his 50 man barbershop quartet
adj. crude or desirable.
"Boy, what happened? Your vehicle is The everlasting love of Kosmicki and his 50 man barbershop quartet!"

That's because it's obviously made up, as the page itself said. :-)

There are a near-infinite number of slang words which are still only in hypothetical usage among the youth of today and tomorrow - this service attempts to pre-emptively catalogue them, for the benefit of baby namers, dot-com registrars and other dangerously bored people.

Enter a name or word or phrase, to see what it might (but doesn't) mean.
I added the bold to make it more obvious.

The "source" list doesn't seem so obviously made-up, though. :|

For some more fun, enter your real life name or handle, fortune cookie type thing perhaps? 8)

I think I saw that source link on Tech TV (maybe on "Unscrewed"). It was a dictionary put together by some religious guys (pastors, ministers, etc.) to help each other understand teen slang.

I think the site that started this thread is a parody of it.

It's a random generator :mrgreen:
I don't think it's strictly random. If you enter the same phrase, you get the same result. For example, "Pocket PC" always gives the result cited at the start of the thread. However, "Pocket CP" gives a different, but consistent, result.

They're likely taking the original phrase and hashing it, then using the hash code as an index into the "definitions".

WoWie, incredible...^_^

Most of the 'definitions' seem to be generally immoral though! :? They usually seem to revolve around guns, tobaccos, and such other things...o.O

[Janak Parekh]

Ah, that makes sense. The "hashing" would then be a way of "enhancing" that effect.

I noticed that, interesting idea. Adds a bit more realisim to it.

Ya know, besides the fact it says my name is slang for promiscuous endeavors.

Actually, I think that one was real. I used to be a real kosmicker. :rotfl:
