A Quick Look at the Urban Dictionary

The Urban Dictionary is a online collaborative slang dictionary. The site has been online since 1999. I just discovered it because I didn't know what "woot" meant.

My current favorite definition is: "you-a cupla:"

To shift blame while apologizing for someone else’s mistakes.

"I was impressed by Michael Brown's willingness to accept responsibility for how incompetent everyone else was. He candidly admitted he was too trusting, too able, too overskilled to deal with all the retards around him. Overall, Jon, a heartfelt and stirring you-a culpa."

--Rob Corddry, correspondent on The Daily Show

A hardcopy compilation of definitions from the site was published in 2005. [JH]
