data dictionary

A data dictionary is (generally) a read-only set of tables and views that holds metadata - used in a database management system. The data dictionary may be considered a database in its own right.

Amongst other things, a Data Dictionary holds the following information:

*Usernames, Roles and Privileges
*Schema Objects
*Integrity Constraints
*Stored procedures and Triggers
*General Database Structure
*Audit information
*Space allocations

One benefit of a well prepared data dictionary is a consistency between data items across different tables.
several tables may hold telephone numbers, using a data dictionary the format of this telephone number field will be consistent.

Urban Dictionary

A profane website where young teenagers hold their erect penises in one hand while their other hand furiously informs the world of foolishly prepubescent gobbledegook using a keyboard and a mouse, although how they manage to use both at the same time with only one hand is unfathomably irrelevant. It should be noted that while the information including the way in which women are able to hold erect penises has been omitted, Urban Dictionary is not a censored website. That information has been left out, on purpose, even though we're positive that you're just dying to know. Perverts...
Urban Dictionary: Ages Puberty to Maturity. Recommended for those under the age of 18 who suffer from extreme boredom or a lack of general teenage knowledge. Side effects may include increased ass holishness and a definite decline in IQ and/or levels of maturity. Best used during day time hours.
