LingoZ : 100% User-Powered Dictionary

LingoZ is a user-powered dictionary and community dedicated to build the largest user-contributed dictionary on the web. Every LingoZ user can add his/her definitions and let other users vote on it. Highest voted definitions remain referred as the “official” definitions until some other definition scores a higher number of votes. You can think of it as a more serious alternative to all-favorite UrbanDictionary.

    Anyone interested in Lingoz might also want to check out wordie.org, which I launched last year. Lets you create word lists, add words (slang or “real” words), add citations and usage notes, and talk about words and language with an active community of logophiles.
