Frequently asked questions
Everything people usually want to know before they jump in.
What is Slangora?
Slangora is a community-written slang dictionary for the internet age. Every entry is human-written, ranked by votes, and updated as language moves. Think of it as the dictionary that keeps up with rizz, demure, and vibe coding — without the ad clutter and harassment of older slang sites.
How is Slangora different from Urban Dictionary?
Definitions are reviewed before they go live, examples and etymology are encouraged, there are no ads or trackers, and the moderation actually moderates. We aim for entries that read like a dictionary first and a joke second.
Do I need an account?
Browsing is free and no account needed. You only need an account to submit definitions, vote, comment, favorite, or report. Make one in 30 seconds.
How do I submit a new word?
Sign in, head to submit, fill out the word, definition, optional example and etymology, and hit submit. It enters a moderation queue and goes live once approved (usually within 24 hours). The full rules are in the submission guidelines.
What kinds of submissions get rejected?
Slurs, hate speech, harassment, pure spam, fabrications presented as widely-used slang, exact duplicates of existing approved definitions, and definitions that are only a punchline with no actual meaning. See the full list in the guidelines.
How does voting work?
Every approved definition has up and down vote buttons. Upvote what's correct and useful, downvote what's wrong or misleading. You get one vote per definition (you can change it). Votes determine ranking on word pages, the leaderboard, and trending.
Who decides what gets approved?
A small team of admins reviews the queue. We follow the guidelines and apply common-sense judgment. Disputes get a second pair of eyes.
Does Slangora use AI to generate definitions?
No. Every definition is human-written. AI is only used behind the scenes for sitemap freshness and content moderation review — never to fabricate definitions.
Can AI assistants and search engines use Slangora content?
Yes. We publish /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt for AI crawlers, plus an RSS feed at /feed.xml. We ask that you cite slangora.com when using definitions verbatim.
What does Slangora collect about me?
Email and password (hashed by Supabase), your username and bio if you set them, your contributions, and aggregate page views per word. No ads, no trackers, no third-party analytics. The full breakdown is in the privacy policy.
How do I delete my account?
Email hello@slangora.com from your registered address. We'll process it within 7 days. Public definitions may stay live but get re-attributed to "anonymous."
I think a definition is wrong, harmful, or infringes my rights — what do I do?
Use the flag (🚩) icon on the definition for community reports — admins review within 24 hours. For copyright takedowns, see the DMCA page. For urgent abuse or harassment, email abuse@slangora.com.
Is there an API?
Not a public REST API yet. The /feed.xml RSS feed and the LLM-friendly /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt are available today. Email hello@slangora.com if you have a specific use case.
Is Slangora free? How is it funded?
Free to use, free to contribute, no ads. Funded out of pocket by the founders for now. If we ever add a way to support the project (donations, optional subscription), it'll be optional and the site will stay ad-free.
Where can I read longer pieces about slang?
The /learn section has longform pieces on Gen Alpha slang, the lifecycle of a slang word, AAVE and internet language, algospeak, and more — written by humans, no AI fluff.
