The Wickedictionary
The name wickedictionary is intended to be a play on the word wiktionary. The idea is to collect definitions of words like in a dictionary, except the definitions must be perverse in the style of Ambrose Bierce's the Devil's Dictionary. The idea is to modernize Ambrose Bierce and come up with a more contemporary and cutting-edge collection of definitions. Anyone is welcome to edit this page. If you do not have access, you are welcome to email me definitions. The idea is we don't have to necessarily agree with these definitions, but to merely enjoy them for the fun of it.
