Well, knowing that anyone in their right mind wouldn't look up "Hi" in the U.D., I can safely assume you did it for one of these reasons:

1) Your parent/roomate just walked in and you were looking up something that was very innapropriate for the time being.

2) You were just masturbating to some of the free erotica on this site, and in that case, just go back to what you were doing: sex story.

3) You aren't in your right mind and should go see a therapist.

4) You are extremely bored.

5) You are an alien from a parallel universe and would like to study the various aspects of human culture. One of them being the complex greeting system.

6) You tried looking up ho or bi but misspelled it.
Person 1: "So I was like looking at like this thing on UrbanDictionary last night when my parent walked in. I like typed in 'hi' and when my parent asked what I was doing, and I told her I was looking up 'hi' on UrbanDictionary. She then looked at my history and saw that I looked up 'tramp.' It was so hilarious the look on her face!"

Person 2: "ZOMG!! That's so ridiculous. I would have gotten grounded!"

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
