urbandictionary.com / 4 slangns and modern word play s

I came across this very interesting web site today, that contains slang words, phrases, dialects , colloquies other phrases and words coined by modern day world !

http://www.urbandictionary.com/

It has ' word of the day', a la dictionary.com and also a subscription service where ' word of the day ' is emailed to your mail box. I subscried ! ( sigh ! u the sucker for free stuff).

HOW I CAME ACROSS THIS SITE : That is an interesting story. Today morning, I saw ' The Hindu' and no interesting editorials ( on pakistan / obama / af-pak, that is ).

So, on the way, I bought this ' Deccan Chronicle'. And opened the local section. Came across the words such as ' sex-ting' and ' flirt-exting' and wrote them on the piece of paper for further net search !!

When I ' googled' for this strange looking made up / coined words, I came across this site, urban dictionary dot com,

Thanks to Deccan Chronicle , which is trendier and more suited to young readers...............

2 good new websites for ' presentations'

These 2 good new web sites I came across for ' presentations'.

http://www.slideshare.net/

and

http://www.cleverpresentations.com/


HOW I CAME ACROSS THEM : ( :) @ serendipity ! ) :

I was reading this ' Fooled by Randomness' by Nassim Nicholas Taleb , presented to me by Gunen Saab.

He mentioned a subject called ' Ecological Rationality'. And I wrote it down this interesting subject phrase in the white paper and searched the net.

It first showed up, in the first page, this ' slide share.net'. and when I visited this slide share, then I came across this ' clever presentation dot com'.

Conclusion : It's good to net search some interesting phrases !
