This is the largest dictionary on the internet of 2020s slang and phrases, including slangs from before that are still used in the 2020s (referred to as the New English Dictionary). The dictionary is expanding every day and now relies on community contributions. Anyone can edit the dictionary to add new terms, or make up their own term. Eventually the dictionary will be turned into an official website. If a slang is not from 2020 and is no longer used then it will be removed
