adding your words to the pseudodictionary is easy. all you have to do is fill out the form below and click on » submit your word. once submitted, your word will be reviewed by an editor. if it meets our guidelines, we’ll add it and notify you.

guidelines — tips on how to get words accepted:

  • insults are cheap. submit non-insulting words.
  • submit only words that are in the public domain.
  • be creative. you’ll know if a word is worth adding.
  • don’t include a url in your description or example.
  • don’t use other words you’ve submitted in your examples.
  • don’t submit words that are “chat room” spellings of existing words.
  • an existing word? cool, if it’s really great. or if you have a special twist.
  • give a clear description of your word. show how to use it in an example.
  • if you don’t know how to spell a word, either look it up or use another one.
  • include your name and email address. include your website if you have one.
  • use normal capitalization — uppercase to start a sentence, proper name, and so on.
  • note: it’s all right to use names of friends in examples if you want to — but easy on the insults.
  • nota bene: variations of names of your friends or enemies will not be be accepted as entry words.
  • the real trick is to make us smile. if you do, we relax some of the guidelines. make us laugh — you’re in.

show us you can muster the energy to reach the shift key. do as we say, not as we do: don’t be shiftless. text in all lowercase is hard for us to read, especially for our geezer editors. text in all upper case will be robotically deleted. the gist of this: don’t make us work too hard to convert your entry to standard english usage — capitalization, grammar, punctuation, rhetoric, spelling, style, and syntax. note: we reserve the right to edit submittals before they are added to the pseudodictionary.

the gist of all this: don’t make us work too hard to convert your entry to standard english usage — capitalization, grammar, punctuation, rhetoric, spelling, style, and syntax.

include your email address with your entry so we can notify you when your word is accepted. we will not share your email address with any third party unless required to by law. we do not display any email addresses. this prevents spammers from "scraping" them for mailing lists. we take our privacy policy seriously. we will make changes if we need to to keep your contact details secure. if you have any concerns about how we run the site, let hd know.

all words, descriptions, and examples must meet the following criteria. they can’t be

  • racist, sexist, or hateful.
  • overly sexual or descriptive of sex acts.
  • drug slang, or related to drugs in any way.
  • genital slang or relating to bodily (toilet) functions.

we’re pretty lax in terms of grammar and spelling (since this is primarily a slang site), but if we don’t understand a word, what it means, or how to use it, we don’t add it.

these rules are in place not because we’re hardass word-nazis, but because we want to make the site enjoyable for everyone. words that break the rules will be deleted by our editors before they have a chance to go live. almost half the submittals we receive break the rules. that wastes our time, time that could be better spent adding acceptable and funny words to the site.
