I'd be somewhat down for this. I've got friends here in Surrey that I never hear anywhere else if you intend to include the rest of the GVRD.
Also, I wonder who will write the AsNoobAsItGets and 14 dolla balla wiki entries.

Vancouver is an island-city in Western Canadia that calls itself Hollywood North, also known as the city of bums, but everyone knows is just a lame excuse for a Canadian SeattleSan FranciscoPortland. Currently Vancouver is hosting the LOLympics.

LOL... wow I have never heard of foig nor ceeb.
what's the best platform to do this in? I originally thought of wiki, but it doesn't look as friendly as urbandictionary.. I want a platform like urbandictionary where people can also define it themselves or comment on the definition or add their own.
I grew up in east van and burnaby so I kinda know the ghetto urban slang

I dated a Toronto girl who has never heard the term "honger" til she got to Vancouver. None of her friends back in TO heard of it too.

You're probably going to end up with a bunch of nerd/internet slangs or RS inside jokes. No one's going to get it and it'll make Vancouver look weird.
