I think the dictionary is confusing.

The dictionary, we all know it, definitions of words. But those words are confusing on some websites. So come with me as we look at some of these dumb words.

Starting off, why are yeet, rizz, mid (as in slang, not literally as in the middle) and supercalifragilisticexpialidocious in the dictionary? Slang should be in the Urban Dictionary, not the actual dictionary. Not to mention the fact that supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is a made up word from a movie.

Furthermore, how come those words get in, but funner gets the boot? "Yeet? Yep, go on in. Rizz? Welcome to the dictionary. Mid? That's just fine. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious? Sure, why the fuck not? Funner? Nope, you gotta say 'more fun.'"

To make this even worse, bestest is in the dictionary, meaning people won't bat an eye when you say bestest, but if you say funner, you just get "Um actually it's more fun, not funner." I just hope that unalive isn't in the dictionary, otherwise society is cooked. Maybe I'll make an essay about unalive down the line.

Basically, slang words and bestest are in the dictionary but funner isn't. This is a dumb call in my opinion, but that's at least just Dictionary.com, rather than Webster's Dictionary too, but it should be the Urban Dictionary that has the slang, and only the Urban Dictionary. Also the aforementioned Dictionary.com apparently has a section for emojis, whatever the hell that's about.

I have no idea what "rizz" is supposed to mean - and neither does my browser, considering the red line underneath it. How is that a word?
