5 (Safe-for-Work) Hilarious Urban Dictionary Entries
UrbanDictionary is a website that documents and catalogs slang terms from all over the world and since users are able to submit their own definitions, it’s essentially an endless source of amusement. Although it’s more well known for slang terms regarding bizarre sexual acts (look up ‘hot carl’), it also has a lot of relatively benign colloquialisms that you might even be able to use around company. Here are 5 such entries.
1. Hoposexual
Origin: a portmanteau of “hope” and “homosexual”
Meaning: A hoposexual is someone who isn’t gay but really wishes they were. There are varying degrees of hoposexual (kind of a hoposexual Kinsey scale), if you will. For example, your man-hating friend who talks about how much easier life would be if she was a lesbian would rank about a 1 out of 5, while the guy who has a boyfriend but still gets handjobs from girls would be a scorching 5.
2. Robo-tripping
Origin: a portmanteau of “Robitussin” and “tripping”
Meaning: Robo-tripping is what happens to you when you (accidentally?) get high on cough syrup. According to the original entry, it causes, “hallucinations, hyperactivity, relaxed sensations, and general craziness”. Long term abuse may lead to such conditions as homelessness and complete lack of congestion.
3. Christmahanukwanzica
Origin: An amalgam of major December holidays from various religions
Meaning: Christmahanukwanzica is a celebration of Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanza simultaneously. This is either meant to lampoon “Chrismukkah”from The OC, or is a reaction to the inclusion movement the holiday season has seen in the last decade. Anyway, I don’t support celebrating this until they add festivus.
4. Ice Maker
Origin: Comes from “ice breaker”
Meaning: The opposite of an ice breaker, an ice maker occurs when someone says something that makes things really awkward between two people who just met. Usually followed by a polite, “well thanks, it was great meeting you!” and an awkward walk away.
5. Penicular Manslaughter
Origin: a combination of”penis” and “vehicular manslaughter”.
Meaning: This can mean either to dismember the penis or to actually murder someone with your penis. The second is obviously far worse, as the owner of the penis in question is immediately guilty of both murder and necrophilia.

Wow, first you’re all ‘disturbed’ by innocuous sexual acts, and now you make a mockery of dictionaries, AND definitions. Is there no line you will not cross? Some people, such as myself, take the defining of items EXTREMELY seriously, and feel the need to put judging persons SUCH AS YOURSELF in line, with our powerful commenting voices. I urge you to take defining MUCH more seriously in the future. You need to be much more sensitive in regards to the hair-trigger PC detecting commenters that roam the blogosphere.
Rape, murder , THEN necrophillia
Christmahanukwanzica comes from a commercial…I can’t remember what the commercial is for, but it’s been out maybe 2 or 3 years…
It’s from an Old Navy commercial. Predates the OC.
It doesn’t have to be rape to be penicular manslaughter. It could be penicular suicide. Some men have died in the middle of sexual intercourse. I believe one of the French presidents died during the act with several women at one time. *shrug*
Nice Blog. Good Look
Still, I believe some people may not like it
