slang dictionary
Informal vocabulary guide
A slang dictionary is a reference work documenting informal, nonstandard, or subcultural vocabulary—words and phrases that conventional dictionaries often omit or undertreat.
Such dictionaries capture language as it's actually spoken: street slang, profanity, drug terminology, youth expressions, regional idioms.
I looked up "mid" in a slang dictionary to see if I was using it right.
