This website kills it. Kurt Vonnegut wrote for it which gives it enough literary credit.
www.urbandictionary.com
This is a great tool to get students interested in the words they use. Once students are aware of their lexicon, it can only get better. This site is great for discussing the prescriptivists vs. descriptivists debate.

This website is alright, but nothing special. This site is convenient for referencing but it's overused, big time. This site works for substitute teachers and teachers that can't think on their own. However, this site and organization set the trends within the subject so it's important to know what these guys are doing.
It was great seeing the other websites from my incredible classmates, I liked mine the best.
