Magikito

There is nothing duller than a dictionary, and nobody with less flair than someone who talks as if they were writing an instruction manual. The fun of talking is in spitting out elegance dressed up as metaphor and surfing the language like a motorbike with no brakes.

A few of the good voices

Side quest
Janna · United States
"A side quest is basically just doing a random activity, not scheduled, not really typical to do, it's just a side quest. It's kind of, you know, a reference. It comes from basically video games when you're on, like, a story video game, where you're on a certain path and there's a storyline you're following, and then there's just random side quests that they can ask you to do for more points and whatnot. It's pretty much optional. An example would be, say I'm just going to the orange farm to pick up some oranges, just, you know, random side quest."
wicked
Courtney Sintoni · United States
"Wicked I've seen used up north primarily and it is a word used for emphasis like you would use very or really. For example, I'm wicked tired. Can you hurry up?"
Deadass
Janna · United States
"Deadass means, you know, like, seriously. It can be used in the form of, like, a question or a statement. Both work. An example can be, bro, holy shit, I just completely failed the final. Deadass."

About this archive

The Slangtionary is an independent, living archive: 1,989 expressions catalogued across 26 regions, with 258 real voices recorded by people from each area. It is not a translation or a derivative of any other dictionary, it grows by direct contribution.

Every entry starts as a human contribution and goes through a documented editorial review that would rather leave a gap than invent one, and that removes whatever is not living speech. The voices always belong to real people, never AI-generated.

What nobody keeps, we Magikitos keep

We brownies are those little misunderstood creatures hardly anyone believes in any more. People have forgotten about magic and about the good vibes of the street. And the same happens to the sayings of a lifetime. They get lost when nobody uses them. So our mission is to gather every one of them and keep them with care. Will you help us?
