Corrections

Slang evolves. Definitions go stale. Tell us when something's wrong.

Fastest path: the report button

Every definition card on Slangora has a report button (🚩). It's the fastest way to flag a specific definition — wrong meaning, outdated, offensive without warning, duplicate of another entry. Reports go straight to the editorial queue and are usually reviewed within 48 hours.

For substantive corrections

If you want to rewrite a definition rather than just flag it, the best path is to submit a new definition for the same term — your version enters the moderation queue and, if approved, joins the existing definitions on the term page where readers can vote.

For everything else

For corrections that aren't about a single definition — a missing term, a miscategorized entry, a broken page, a misattributed origin, or a sensitive- language concern that needs context — use the contact form. Include the URL of the page you're writing about and as much context as you can give us.

What we want to know

  • Wrong meaning — what should the definition say instead, and why?
  • Outdated — when did this fade out of use, and is there a current replacement?
  • Missing context — is the term used differently in a region or platform we haven't captured?
  • Misattributed origin — where did the word actually come from?
  • Wrong category — which category, region, or generation does this really belong to?
  • Sensitive without warning — what kind of warning should the entry carry?
  • Duplicate — which other entry covers the same meaning?

What happens after you report

  1. Your report enters the editorial queue at /admin.
  2. A human editor reads it and reviews the entry against the report.
  3. If the change is straightforward, it's applied — and the previous version remains in the edit history.
  4. If the change is contested or unclear, an editor may reach out for more context.
  5. You'll see the result the next time you visit the page.

A note on disagreement

We won't always agree with a correction. Slang is genuinely contested — two people from different cities can use the same word for opposite things. When we don't make a change, we try to explain why. The goal isn't to pick a winner; it's to make sure the entry accurately reflects how the word is actually used.
