So I'm not ashamed to say I check my work very meticulously on this blog. Whenever I write a dirty limerick, I look up all of the carnal words on Urban Dictionary to make sure I'm using them right. Call me crazy, but I strive for perfection in all things.
I took the liberty of playing around with Urban Dictionary the last time I used it and I must say I was pleased with what I found. I'll share my two favorite definitions with you here.
First I looked up my name. All of the definitions were more than satisfactory, but this one was by far my favorite:
Joel is an adjective used largely in the Surrey/Hampshire area used to describe a person of God-like qualities or to decribe someone who has just done a God-like act.
I've been telling people for years that I'm God. It's comforting to see that at least someone has seen the light.
And this next one was just so cool. For those of you who don't know, I am both a Washington Redskins and New York Mets fan. They don't seem to have much of a correlation, and that's partly because I became fans of each team at a different time and for much different reasons. But when I looked up "New York Mets" on Urban Dictionary, what I found was rather intriguing.
The Washington Redskins of the MLB. In spite of the team's large market and payroll, they continue to spend money like the Redskins on washed-up players and young talent who end up suffering major injuries or defect. The Mets, like the Redskins, should make the playoffs but never will until decent management is put in charge.
Leave it to Urban Dictionary to find the underlying themes that bind my sports teams together. And of course, it's a terrible thing they have in common. Which made it all the more hilarious.
From now on, I'm going to see if I can make a habit of incorporating new and exciting urban words into my limericks. For the pleasure of my readership of course.
Assuming I have one...
