1. (n, abbr.) - definition. The meaning of a string.
In its most general form, the definition of a string is a second string linked to the first.
Bonus points if the second string is concise and uses common words.
Even more bonus points if the second string is clear and free from ambiguity/contradictions.
This guide will not be used in this definition.
2. (v, abbr.) - define, defined, defining. The action of linking the second string to the first, the definition to the string.
Can sometimes be used as def() and def(): and read as code.
When read as code, the inputs within the parenthesis are the arguments, and the function routine is defined below.
'People' who read it as code are likely to be computers or NPCs (non-playable characters).
3. (adv, abbr) - definitely. adverb form of definite (adj.) which means clear or true, antonym of ambiguous.
Noun-Plural form: defs
Verb past tense: defed, def'd
Verb present tense: defing (or def'ing)
(Can sometimes use defs as defines, to make sure readers distinguish between the two, convention may use defes.)
Adverb form: defly, (or def'ly)
Code form: def()
An object which defines (defes) may be named a definer (def'er)
Can be used in conjunction with other contractions to make more unreadable sentences. In the story, def also has a fourth definition.
Open to new defs and def's. def def(def, 'def1', 'def2'...) and use def to add defs to def.

1. In most dictionaries, the defs of a string of letters is written below the string or after the string. Most of the time every def(1) has its own unique section indexed by numbers.
2. To def(2) a string, the def'er def'ing the string must provide more than zero defs to the string.
Afterward, the string is considered defed, and some people consider the string a word by this point.
3. This is def(3) a waste of time.
4. <Story>
A and B were former friends.
A: So what did you do the other day?
B: I added some defs to a string, and posted it on a dictionary!
A: Pardon? What did you do again?
B: I defed a word by adding defs to it.
A: Visible confusion
A: Sorry, what is def?
B: def is the word I def'd
A: Could you please clarify?
B: So, I def'd def by def'ing defs to def. Now I am a def'er who defes defs.
A: ...
That was the last time A was seen talking to B alive.
One day, B found a note addressed to them in their mailbox.
A: Sorry, but I def should have known better. I have made the mistake of listening to you rambling on about def, defing and whatever else. As I can neither turn back time to correct my mistake, and neither can I get the defs out of my head, only one option remains for me. def.
B: Mission failed successfully... wait a minute!
This minute proved critical, and its passing lethal. By the time B has arrived at A's place and the emergency response arrived, it was def too late.
E: Words can be lethal. Use them with care.
B: defly.

Get the Alt def 4 mug.The definition had been selected as Word of the Day. It had earned thousands of thumbs-up votes and many fewer thumbs-down. But somebody out there was peeved. Every day they contrived to give it as many thumbs-downs as they could, usually four or five, in an act of def-bombing that only underscored the power of the definition itself.
