| about: | Hi. I'm Walter Rader. In 1996, there were no slang dictionaries on the web that took user contributions. So I created one. I called it The Online Slang Dictionary. It still going after nearly 30 years! I'm a Software Engineer with more than 15 years of experience across all stages of the software development life-cycle. I've worked in a variety of industries; at companies huge (100k+ employees,) small (30 - 60,) and tiny (my own); and have shipped code in 10 languages. As of March 2026, I am open to new opportunities in the San Francisco Bay and Sacramento metropolitan areas. My resume is available on LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/waltergr You can reach me at waltergr@gmail.com ---------- Here are some cool features of a couple of my more visible sites: http://onlineslangdictionary.com/ * Usage statistics * Vulgarity ratings * Maps that show where slang is used * More of the interesting features are listed here: http://onlineslangdictionary.com/pages/about/ -- http://www.offensivest.com/books/ * An analysis of the offensiveness of English works in the Project Gutenberg corpus. * This analysis used >250,000 vulgarity votes cast on The Online Slang Dictionary. * Analyses of more corpora are in planning. -- http://cokepopsoda.com/ * Put a pin in a global map for a word or phrase. (Think: "hashtags plus location".) * This site powers the "I use this word - put me on the map!" feature of The Online Slang Dictionary. Ω |
