Months later, the video exploded in popularity in June after several DJs created remixes of it, the most popular of which has been played on Twitter more than 14 million times. Charles was ultimately not arrested, and the guard posted video of the incident on Facebook later that day, saying he was not mocking her but “posting it cause that rap was lit.” “Why are you detaining me?

Special thanks to the contributors of the open-source code that was used in this project: and you might like to check out the growing collection of curated slang words for different topics over at Slangpedia. There is still lots of work to be done to get this slang thesaurus to give consistently good results, but I think it's at the stage where it could be useful to people, which is why I released it.

Note that this thesaurus is not in any way affiliated with Urban Dictionary.ĭue to the way the algorithm works, the thesaurus gives you mostly related slang words, rather than exact synonyms. The official Urban Dictionary API is used to show the hover-definitions. These indexes are then used to find usage correlations between slang terms.
