"Several correspondents suggested that I should have consulted the Urban Dictionary site, where I would have found, for example, sexual definitions for mash: 'to have sex', 'to engage in sexual foreplay or heavy petting' (hat tip on this one to Elise Stickles). I've found the Urban Dictionary very frustrating to use. You can get no sense of how widespread a usage is; some entries are likely to be reports of items used by only a few friends on very specific occasions, and some might be sheer exuberant inventions. And the definitions (provided by ordinary people, not lexicographers) are often hard to interpret. In addition, they are from all over the English-speaking world; many are clearly British or Australian, but most of the time you can't be sure."

Urban Dictionary has no credibility at all. This isn't new, either. It never did have any credibility. >_>

Yes, but this is from a Stanford/Harvard linguistics professor who had to use Urban Dictionary but was amazed at how much it sucks. >_>

The mere fact a Stanford/Harvard linguistics professor tried to use anything with the word Urban in it to be helpful in every day life astounds me. >_>

It's not quite everyday life. He was trying to make sense of a comic: http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/%7Emyl/languagelog/archives/003929.html

>_> Well, considering the fact schools have been banning dances that had names like that, I considered it everyday life as well since either way he had no clue of what the terms meant.
