I can't seem to find the search button. Also, can someone define what "side effects" are, please. I am studying Scheme now and I don't understand the relevance of "side effects" to Scheme or anything else.
Search is going to be a feature for sure

I remember reading that article when it came out. A lot of good ones in there

#24I put a couple of things in but they weren't related to the show so much as the Valley itself. Where's the downvote button, btw? Someone wrote that "Silicon Valley billionaires" are less douchey than regular billionaires and that shit ain't true.
"Michaelochurch it" or "MOCh it" (pronounced "maach") needs to be in the SV dictionary. This is obviously for taking any conversation and jacknifing it to absurdity. Fits very well in that it sounds similar to regular mocking, but is way more intense and is where one has full intention of hellbanning themself just cause. Sometimes conflated with "going nuclear". Love me some MOCh.

Feel free to add your own definitions to the site. Each word can have multiple definitions attached to it.

We are thinking of solutions for these. Comments might be a solution
Regarding the other branch of this subthread, consider banning "attack definitions", which exist solely to attack a specific named person.
Also, in addition to downvoting, you need some way to flag effectively identical definitions for merging. And to avoid more such definitions, you should tie search to addition, so that if it looks like there's an existing definition for a term (or close to the suggested term), you show that and confirm that the user meant to submit a new definition.

Something done by code that isn't represented by the return value of that code. For instance, if you define a function that changes a global variable and then returns double its argument, the change to the global variable is a "side effect". See also "pure functional" (code which doesn't have side effects).
That's not the kind of definition this dictionary is going for, though; that's tech jargon, not startup jargon.

Good suggestions. Merging and something to prevent duplicates during submissing is definitely something we want to add
