Lumiappaday #264: Urban Dictionary demoed on the Nokia Lumia 900

Urban Dictionary is a site for colloquial/slang words/phrases. This is that site in app form.

It’s useful for searching unusual terminology that won’t appear yet on traditional dictionaries (such as internet terminology), or known terminology with more ‘humorous’ definitions submitted by users.
