Wiktionary
A free, public domain, on-line dictionary project sponsored by the same group that runs Wikipedia. Users can define terms and edit others' definitions.
I couldn't find "bagloooza" in Webster's Unabridged, but Wiktionary had it. Turns out Mike was right, it *is* a noun.
Wiktionary
An Internet wiki dictionary dominated by adolescent system operators that reject new words and penalize participants who repeatedly submit new words, add definitions for existing words, discuss relevant but objectionable issues and disagree with any system operator on the merits of a definition by blocking participant access to prevent further submissions and participation in discussions.
When I submitted a reference link to the Urban Dictionary site the Wiktionary system operator blocked my access to the Wiktionary site on the ficticious grounds that the Urban Dictionary site is malicious.

The Wiktionary is a social club with a dark side.
I escaped the Wiktionary just in time.

Urban Wiktionary
I propose a new site.
Urban Wiktionary is a mix of Urban Dictionary and Wiktionary, taking elements from both.
It would take the definition acceptance and (somewhat) loose moderation of Urban Dictionary.
It would also take the Categorization, Etymology, synonyms, antonyms, and format of Wiktionary.
I see this as a way to highlight words better, as if there will be enough terms about sex and etc, at least we’d have categories to sort of nullify it.

Urban Wiktionary would also help with simply finding words too.
It could divide words into nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, etc.
It would have a better navigation system, sorting into categories and allowing terms with unusual characters (:, ;, ‘) to be found.
It could also divide into languages, seeing as there are many foreign terms on this site.
Seeing that there as many definitions of Urban Dictionary (on Urban Dictionary) saying how much it sucks, maybe it could even provide nonbiased definitions, which all logged in users could make better.
I feel like this would bridge the gap between the “official” words from Wiktionary while still allowing for smaller words that still make sense to be shown off, like in UrbDic.
This may never happen, but screaming into the void at least gets it out there.
