That time I looked up "South Dakota" on Urban Dictionary and found this abomination of an entry...

Should we add "#SkinJobs" and "#Toasters" and "#GoRustYourself" to this list?
How ‘#Clanker’ Became the Internet’s New Favorite Slur
New derogatory phrases are popping up online, thanks to a cultural pushback against #AI
by CT Jones, August 6, 2025
"Clanker. #Wireback. #Cogsucker. People are feeling the inescapable inevitability of AI developments, the encroaching of the digital into everything from entertainment to work. And their answer? Slurs.
"AI is everywhere — on Google summarizing search results and siphoning web traffic from digital publishers, on social media platforms like Instagram, X, and Facebook, adding misleading context to viral posts, or even powering #NaziChatbots. #GenerativeAI and #LargeLanguageModels — AI trained on huge datasets — are being used as therapists, consulted for medical advice, fueling spiritual psychosis, directing self-driving cars, and churning out everything from college essays to cover letters to breakup messages.
"Alongside this deluge is a growing sense of discontent from people fearful of artificial intelligence stealing their jobs, and worried what effect it may have on future generations — losing important skills like media #literacy, #ProblemSolving, and #CognitiveFunction. This is the world where the popularity of AI and robot slurs has skyrocketed, being thrown at everything from ChatGPT servers to delivery drones to automated customer service representatives. Rolling Stone spoke with two language experts who say the rise in robot and AI slurs does come from a kind of cultural pushback against AI development, but what’s most interesting about the trend is that it uses one of the only tools AI can’t create: slang
" '#Slang is moving so fast now that an #LLM trained on everything that happened before it is not going to have immediate access to how people are using a particular word now,' says Nicole Holliday, associate professor of linguistics at UC Berkeley. 'Humans [on] #UrbanDictionary are always going to win.' "

Never was #UrbanDictionary quite this satisfying and... mostly just harmlessly bizarre. XD
Also for the interested / obsessed: my idea of ear bleach (if that's a thing, and #UrbanDictionary says it is so who am I to infer otherwise: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ear%20bleach) is Philosophy Bites or BBC's "In Our TIme". Both of which have quite extensive, though I've discovered not quite infinite back-catalogues.
Childrens' stories, often in foreign languages (a great learning trick, I've come to realise) as well.
I tuned into Tim Pool for the first time ever. he has a live stream and I figured why not.
I'm less than 20 seconds in and he's citing UrbanDictionary as a source of objective truth.
"They call this Ruparring.. you can find it online... at UrbanDictionary... I didn't make this up it's real"
I didn't expect to find something so stupid so fast. The real unexpected is the cosigners who have to be like "Yeah that trusted source UrbanDictionary.com"
