About the Author
Aaron Peckham was a computer science student in 1999 when he launched a Web site to compare urban slang used by university students in different parts of California. Soon the site garnered hits-and new definitions-from around the world. Immensely popular, urbandictionary.com has been recognized by media such as NPR's weekend edition of All Things Considered, BBC News Online, New York Daily News, Sydney Morning Herald, and Maxim, and it has even been used by a judge to decipher rap lyrics and on Rush Limbaugh's radio show to define a word.
