Is It Real Food Slang or Completely Made Up?

What's even bigger than a food trend like pumpkin frozen yogurt?

What's even bigger than a food trend like pumpkin frozen yogurt? Food slang. In fact, I've come across so many contemporary words to add to my food vocabulary that perhaps the culinary world should have its own Urban Dictionary. Some of them make complete sense, but others just don't sound quite right!

For a little bit of education and a lot of fun, I'm going to test your knowledge of food slang. I'll list a word, and you tell me whether it's really been used or whether I just made it up. Play along to expand your culinary vernacular, then demonstrate your broadened vocabulary by using your favorite food slang in a sentence below.

"RangTang" is the name of a new vodka that's fused with orange and tangerine.

"RangTang" is the name of a new vodka that's fused with orange and tangerine. But according to Urban Dictionary, it also has a very different meaning that I will decline to write here. The makers of RangTang maintain that they would have settled on a different name had they managed to find the Urban Dictionary entry with a Google search.

I've excerpted some other definitions from the online slang authority (the language is all Urban Dictionary's!) and put them in this quiz. Find out if you're keeping up with the kids better than the RangTang vodka company!

I can't believe that when we tried to come up with a replacement term for douchebag, among the many terms we considered, we didn't include the awesome frathole.

Ever wonder what trendy terms like "s'fresh" or what hipsters thinks "geek" really means?

Ever wonder what trendy terms like "s'fresh" or what hipsters thinks "geek" really means? Urbandictionary.com will quell all those wonders, and then some. Much like popular Wiki sites, Urban Dictionary is a slang dictionary with user-submitted definitions for any imaginable word, slang or letter combination. Their tagline: Define your world.

I've spent hours scanning for funny words and looking up those strange slang terms I've never quite understood. It's incredibly addicting, and not exactly "educational," but there is a certain amount of learning involved. In case you were wondering, a Geek is defined as "the people you pick on in high school and wind up working for as an adult, or the geeky kid now owns a million dollar software company."
