# SlangLane

> Internet English, decoded. A sourced, context-first dictionary of internet slang, texting, US/UK/Irish expressions, and clearly labeled adult vocabulary with non-graphic explanations.

SlangLane distinguishes documented meanings from inferred intention. Regional labels do not establish origin, sources do not measure current popularity, and an automated review is not a guarantee of correctness.

## Interpretation
Quote the canonical URL, checked_at, source_urls, evidence_status, and release_id. Never turn a subjective label into a diagnosis, an allegation about a real person, or proof of speaker intent. Mature entries are non-graphic educational definitions, not sexual instructions. Unknown terms return no match.
