Welcome to MeansAura, your one-stop destination for taboo-free definitions of viral slang, acronyms, and internet culture. Our general rules for use of our website are detailed in these terms and conditions. By visiting our pages, you agree to abide by our clear guidelines. If you find any of the following rules a deal breaker, please exit our platform immediately.
Who May Use the Site
All slang lookup tools must be used independently by anyone age 13 or older. When younger teens visit our word-breaking sites online, parents should monitor their Internet activity. A few slang words are related to grown-up topics, so we suggest that you look up these words together with an adult whom you trust. By using our site, you agree to these terms and conditions.
What We Provide
Accessible and everyday examples, along with short definitions, help readers understand internet slang, popular acronyms, and confusing phrases. Our guides are a reflection of the meaning of words as they evolve online, and the timeline is fast. We make every effort to ensure our definitions are correct, but cannot guarantee that they will be appropriate for all cases. The information provided in our dictionary entries is for education only and should not be used as legal, medical, or monetary counsel.
Offensive Terms and Education
Our team unravels some of the most contentious slang and offensive internet jargon, helping readers to understand what these words mean on the internet. When we speak about someone using a word, we are not condoning or supporting the word’s use to hurt others. Context notes are added to help you identify sensitive language and promote kinder conversations throughout the web.
Ownership of Content
The original text, examples, custom visual graphics, and page layouts created for this website are the property of our team. These creative assets are safeguarded under copyright laws and official brand rules all over the world. Single pages can be printed out or shared for independent reading or informal conversation in the classroom. Short quotes are fine as long as you reference MeansAura and our original post.
Public slang terms, common acronyms, or everyday English phrases are not our property. Our ownership covers the unique explanations and sentence examples, visual styling, and custom page designs. Word guides cannot be copied, scraped, or republished in bulk without first being granted written permission by us. Slang definitions may be short, and automated web bots are unable to collect our database.
Acceptable Use
Please use our website safely in accordance with its rules, and be respectful when reading or sharing content. While you are visiting, you acknowledge that you will not engage in the following harmful practices.
- Taking our dictionary content and putting it on other websites without contacting us first.
- Attempting to hack into our Web server, break our pages, or otherwise tamper with our security elements.
- Emailing out file viruses, automated spam notes, or harmful code designed to damage other users’ devices.
- Posting unkind, offensive, or illegal comments in any contact form or comments area on our website.
- Impersonating another person or being false about our slang website.
- Collecting personal data from others without first asking their consent.
If you don’t follow these simple community rules, we can block you or delete your comments. Violation of the above terms and conditions may also result in legal action should it be necessary for local law enforcement to enforce the conditions.
Contributor Submissions
You can find more information on how the guest writers can submit word breakdowns, or articles about internet culture here. All messages sent should be written by you and not plagiarized from other creators. All quotes, images, and links in your draft should be confirmed as having proper permission.
By sending a draft, you are allowing us to publish, edit, modify, and share your article with our worldwide channels. We host it on our website and retain overall control of your content. There is no charge or compensation for guest contributors, and we do not ask guests to pay to place their work online. Guest posts are the writer’s opinions and not MeansAura’s.
Guest submissions may be modified, corrected, updated, or removed as deemed fit. Any text that has been stolen, that contains hidden sales pitches, or hateful language is rejected without publication. Inbound links within guest posts may contain paid tags as per normal web publishing conventions. Please notify us immediately of any discovery of a posted article infringing on someone’s rights.
Questions and Feedback Received
Any suggestions for a new slang word, pointing out a typo, or providing site feedback is completely free of obligation. We can generate our own better pages based on your ideas, and not pay you for it, or lose site ownership rights or anything else. Word suggestions, notes you, or may send to us should not contain personal information and/or confidential thoughts.
Comments and Messages
All text you type in our public comment sections or contact forms is 100% yours. All messages must be courteous, informative, and non-fake or illegal conversation. If you post text here, it allows us to show, moderate, or clean up your comments, if necessary, at any time. The opinions expressed in the public comments do not necessarily represent the opinions of MeansAura.
No Restrictions on Third-Party Links, Ads and Services
We frequently link out to social media posts, news reports, and other dictionary sites for additional context. Any pages linked from the outside do not follow these terms and conditions. We are not responsible for those external sites; they are not run by us. You do so at your own risk by clicking on links, and you are visiting those pages at your own will.
Website Changes and Availability
We are able to modify, pause, or close any portion of our website without prior notice. Word breakdowns that have been published may be modified or omitted in the future in case of changes in language or new information. Access to our pages can be unexpectedly severed due to server issues, server updates, or web outages. If a site is down or if the content changes after reading, we are not responsible.
Disclaimer of Warranties
We run MeansAura as it is and as it becomes available day to day, without making empty promises. We cannot promise that our site will stay up every second or stay free of technical glitches. You browse our reference content and rely on our definitions strictly at your own risk under these terms and conditions.
Limitation of Liability
Our team and writers are not responsible for indirect troubles that happen while using our slang platform. That includes lost profits, missing data, or misunderstandings caused by relying on a word breakdown here. Where laws prevent complete liability limits, our responsibility stops at the lowest amount the law allows. These protections also cover our guest writers, since independent authors speak strictly for themselves.
Indemnification
You agree to back us up and defend MeansAura if your actions cause legal or financial trouble. This rule covers problems linked to your website use, submitted drafts, or violations of these site guidelines.
Copyright Complaints
We take copyright issues seriously and act quickly when creators reach out to us in good faith. Send an email to admin@meansaura.com with these exact details if you spot your work used without permission.
- An explicit note explaining the copied work and a link to the original text.
- The page on our website that will display the copied material.
- Your full name, direct email address, and an honest, quick statement.
- A statement that the data provided is accurate and you are the owner or manager of the copyright.
- Your end-of-email signature – typed or written.
Privacy
Our Privacy Policy details behind-the-scenes collection, processing, and storage of your personal information. By availing of this site, you agree to their handling of your information on those other pages as well. Here is that notice – be sure to read it, as it complements these terms and conditions.
Suspension and Termination
If you do not follow these rules or cause trouble for us, we may stop or restrict your access to the pages. Access rights expiration does not discontinue rules regarding content ownership, disclaimers, limits of liability, legal defense, etc.
Governing Law and Disputes
These rules work within the framework of basic consumer protection laws, and are informed by standard legal principles, all while acknowledging your basic consumer protection rights in your home jurisdiction. As most problems get sorted out informally within thirty days, please email us first if you run into a problem.
Changes to These Terms
We tweak our site rules now and then as our dictionary grows and internet culture changes. We post updated versions right here and change the revision date sitting at the top of this page. Sticking around and using the site after an update means you accept our new terms.
General Provisions
If a judge throws out one part of these rules, every other section remains fully active and valid. Choosing not to enforce a rule right away does not mean we give up our right to enforce it later. You need to follow local laws whenever you log on to read our site from anywhere in the world. These terms and conditions work together with our Privacy Policy to form our full agreement with you.
