Frum Slang: The Urban Dictionary for frummies has arrived

by Heshy Fried on March 26, 2008 · 5 comments

Urban Dictionary for Frummies Wikipedia style- http://frumslang.com

Thanks to a random fan from facebook- my one day old blog has been changed into a fully functioning WIKI formatted page ready for your editing.

About two weeks ago I received an email from a girl in India who is interested in Judaism and loves this blog. She asked if I could do a post defining many of the commonly used terms on this site and in the frum community in general. As many of my friends on facebook can attest- I have been hounding people for words, terms, acronyms, phrases, etc… for the past couple of weeks. I was going to make it its own URL and be all fancy, but patience is not one of my virtues and I posted it in blog form yesterday.

I do not know what to expect, already I have been busy editing all the entries people have sent me over facebook and via email (the facebook profile frum satire was created to meet the fans- so go ahead and friend me). It has received almost 300 hits in its first few hours online. Granted I am going to change it around in form and function- and if anyone is savvy enough to edit and add terms and clever definitions- please contact me and I will make you an administrator. I would love for this to become a collaborative blog.

I sent you a whole bunch of words on facebook. If you put them up for me, maybe my name should be mentioned somewhere. I thought they were pretty funny.

I post this once already. Did I mention that I hate waiting literally hours for my comments to appear (or not) on your blog? I’m not a great fan of comment moderation.

Wow looks like everything someone can think of was done already. But ours is more creative, and humorous.

Comment moderation is way better then dealing with porn and Tremadol ads
