Someone who has successfully defined a term that has been accepted by the mahatma's a urbanditionary.com
Both myself and my friend James have entries in the Urban Dictionary. This makes us BOTH "Street Lexicographers". A high honor in some circles. A dubious one in others.

- You know what really is a waste of valuable time and proof that you have no life to speak of?
