The problem

Language moves fast. Looking it up shouldn't hurt.

New words show up every week. Finding out what they mean is weirdly painful.

wait what does that mean

You nod along in the chat, then quietly search it later and hope nobody noticed the pause.

ugh, pop-ups again

Search results are a wall of listicles and pages built to farm clicks, not to answer the question.

says who?

Traditional dictionaries wait years to decide a word is “real.” The people using it already know what it means.
