Someone who acts like they are your friend but is really a manipulative backstabber. A bad friend would be someone who is jealous of you and tries to compete with you and take over your life and replace you in all aspects because their life is too sucky and they can’t come to terms with the fact that they were just lucky to be your friend in the first place.

I made a horrible mistake when I became best friends with Jessica because she ended up being a bad friend. She tried to compete with me, talked about me behind my back and tried to steal my friends and boyfriend.

Get the bad friend mug.

Someone who says they will hang out with their «friends» but always backs out. Responds to text messages with «idk» «hi» or «umm» instead of giving an actual response. Pretends to be sorry for ditching friends, but does it again anyways.

Get the bad friend mug.

Someone who acts like they are your friend but is really a manipulative backstabber. A bad friend would be someone who is jealous of you and tries to compete with you and take over your life and replace you in all aspects because their life is too sucky and they can’t come to terms with the fact that they were just lucky to be your friend in the first place.

Someone who only cares for themselves and thinks the world revolves around them.

When you try and be nice my inviting your best friend out all the time and introducing her to new people and other friends. Then behind your back she back stabs you by talking about you to your friends! When you don’t even know that anything is wrong! Saying how much of a bad friend you are because you didn’t give her enough time to for insanely long conversations about her life, making you the worst friend in the world. Because being busy with uni work isn’t a excuse!

Therefore payback is talking behind your back to friends.

Get the bad friend mug.

A bad friend is someone who blows you off all the time, specifically four times in one weekend , and every weekend after that for a month. Also blows you off all the time for her unattractive boyfriend… copies everything you do, and steals your style. Trys to get with every guy you’ve talked to and dated. Even one you’re in love with. Oh and might I add, never texts you first or calls you, claiming she’s too busy, when she’s constanly updating her facebook status or tweeting. There is just some fantastic people in this world …

Get the bad friend mug.

The usually unnatractive poor friend who resents that her friend is prettier than she is and gets all the attention.

Usually when out the prettier friend will be told how good looking she is all the time and admired by men and the uglier friend is ignored.

The prettier friend everyone will think is a model and all the guys hit on and the uglier friend gets ignored.

Then years later the ugly friend realizes what a failure her life is and how she will never have the brains or beauty to be successful or rich in life and she comes on the internet to hate and make up lies about the girl.

She does nothing all day but gossip and lie about you, what a bad friend.

The Urban Thesaurus was created by indexing millions of different slang terms which are defined on sites like Urban Dictionary. These indexes are then used to find usage correlations between slang terms. The official Urban Dictionary API is used to show the hover-definitions. Note that this thesaurus is not in any way affiliated with Urban Dictionary.

Due to the way the algorithm works, the thesaurus gives you mostly related slang words, rather than exact synonyms. The higher the terms are in the list, the more likely that they’re relevant to the word or phrase that you searched for. The search algorithm handles phrases and strings of words quite well, so for example if you want words that are related to lol and rofl you can type in lol rofl and it should give you a pile of related slang terms. Or you might try boyfriend or girlfriend to get words that can mean either one of these (e.g. bae). Please also note that due to the nature of the internet (and especially UD), there will often be many terrible and offensive terms in the results.

There is still lots of work to be done to get this slang thesaurus to give consistently good results, but I think it’s at the stage where it could be useful to people, which is why I released it.

Special thanks to the contributors of the open-source code that was used in this project: @krisk, @HubSpot, and @mongodb.

Life is not Complicated, You Are

“they hate on me but they hated jesus.”



Jordan Hoechlin

Deborah Bravandt

“Jesus Christ did not pay for anyone’s choices. This may be difficult to accept as humans depend upon escapism as a default mechanism for comfort. There is a deep fear in witnessing truth, enlightenment, or awareness that NO MAN, NO WOMAN, and NO GOD can erase your choices. Your actions exist.

What do you do to erase past actions? Rather than erase, consider apologizing. Consider growing up. Consider emotional intelligence. Try behaving like an adult who can say, “I’m sorry I yelled at you. I’m sorry I stole from you. I’m sorry I called you a rapist when you were not a rapist. I’m sorry I was the worst friend to you. I am sorry.”



Deborah Bravandt

“If people don’t like you and you help them their pride will try to find any way for them not to give you credit for helping them.”



Gugu Mofokeng

Carlos Wallace

“We go to great lengths to shed physical weight. That’s not much good if your mental health is loaded down. Dishonest, selfish, miserable people are poison. If they’re in your life, your social circle needs a detox. Nothing reduces useless negativity like dropping DEAD WEIGHT!”



Carlos Wallace,
