Other Useful Dictionaries, Encyclopaedias and Lexicons

As I say in the preface: “This is a list of some common acronyms, initialisms, terms, memes, references and responses often used on the internet with an emphasis on those specifically used on Reddit. ...in no way intended to be definitive...”. There are far more Internet terms and memes and pop-culture references and cognitive biases and new definitions and logical fallacies than I could possibly cover here, and some valuable resources include:

• All The Tropes[1] A wiki dedicated to the people, projects and patterns of creative writing in all kinds of entertainment: television, literature, movies, video games, and more.
• Know Your Meme[2] A website dedicated to documenting Internet phenomena: viral videos, image macros, memes, catchphrases, and more. NSFW.
• T.V. Tropes[3] An all-devouring pop-culture wiki, which catalogues and cross-references recurrent plot devices, archetypes, and tropes in all forms of media.
• Slangit[4] A searchable dictionary of slang terms, acronyms, abbreviations, and emoticons.
• Acronym Finder[5] With more than 1,000,000 human-edited definitions, Acronym Finder is the world's largest and most comprehensive dictionary of acronyms, abbreviations, and initialisms.
• The Urban Dictionary[6] For those word definitions that the Oxford English Dictionary just hasn’t gotten round to yet. NSFW.
• Encyclopædia Dramatica[7]. NSFW.
• Rational Wiki[8] Analyzing and refuting “pseudoscience”, their daily definition is always worth reading.
• Wikipedia[9] As a regular donator and occasional editor *(insert smug face emoticon here)*, I would be remiss in not mentioning this incredible resource in this list.

• *Because there is a Subreddit for everything:**

r/wikipedia collects some of the most interesting pages on Wikipedia, r/coolguides have picture based reference guides for anything and everything and r/tvtropes discuss both T.V. tropes and the website. r/4chan (NSFW) also exists. The bot u/WikipediaSummary is an opt-in service bot created by u/Gullyn1 that replies to comments with a summary of Wikipedia articles.
