urban

A flask app for generating Urban Dictionary-sounding phrases

CAUTION: The reader will find much to be offended by in the files *.hide.db. They contain some hidden words used to "spice-up" the google image search on which this app depends.

The files *.show.db should be free from any phrases that one might be embarrassed to use in certain company.

The general idea is to randomly combine two phrases (a modifier and a noun phrase) that would, individually, be acceptible to your grandmother, your six-year-old or both, but when taken together, sound slightly pervy. The app then does a Google photo search to find, depending on the settings, an more-or-less approriate image to complement the phrase.

Future work includes a way to allow the user to suggest plausible definitions for the displayed phrase and a blog-style comment stream.

The author would like to thank the following contributors to this effort. B. Ashworth, who keeps suggesting good ideas an then adding them. J. Lockman, L. Lam, P. Franz, A. Serenil, S. Hwan, J. Miller, L. Goaneh and J. Zimmerman, all my immediate office neighbors, who contribute by adding to the word databases, suggesting features, forking and compulsively clicking the Shuffle button while they should be focusing on work, family or sleep.

For a good chukle, have a look at favorites.txt for some of this app's more fortuitous outcomes.

Editor's Note

It has been a few years since my last deploy. The code probably needs a baby wipe.
