10 Best Arizona-Related Urban Dictionary Definitions

Merriam-Webster tends to be bland sometimes, so we consulted the Urban Dictionary to define some Arizona-related things.

Check out our top 10 finds (which doesn't include any grotesque sexual acts!):

10.) Sedona Sweatlodge

Who knew?

When you fart under the blankets and then hold the covers over your bedmate's head. A Dutch oven.

Sounds legit:

That about sums it up:

It's somewhere around 70 degrees:

Weather experienced in the Phoenix area during the winter months (December through February). Weather in which it is too warm to wear a winter jacket or big coat, and if you do wear one, you will look like a huge douche. Then, when you wear a hoody or thin jacket, you get cold. Thus it is Arizona cold.

Enough said:

You think we could leave this one out?

1. Arizona's/Phoenix's most popular newspaper and, conincidentally [sic], the worst newspaper on the planet.

2. A Phoenix paper in which death counts of soldiers in Iraq are A10 news, and some bullshit about AIMS testing is A1/front page news.

3. A Phoenix paper which publicly endorsed Bush during the election of 2004, effectively killing any reputation it had for unbiased/non-partisan reporting.

Truer words were never spoken:

v. To pursue political opponents (imprisoning them if necessary), ignore repeated cries for help and otherwise oversee a corrupt organization.

Also, a ritzy hotel:

1. A member of an ancient people (1600-300 BCE) in the Mediterranean. They were remarkable for their seafaring achievements.

2. People from Phoenix who have no grasp of history. Or, they are aware, but pretentious enough to continue to call themselves "Phoenician."

A biblical version of events:

Arizona - It's the devil's playground

The devil wanted a place on earth, sort of a summer home, a place to spend his vacation, whenever he wanted to roam.

So he picked out Arizona, a place both wretched and rough, where the climate was to his liking, and the cowboys hardened and tough.

He dried up the lakes in the valley, then burned and scorched it all, He dried up the streams in the canyons, and ordered no rain to fall.

Then over this barren desert, he transplanted shrubs from Hell, the cactus thistle and prickly pear, the climate suited them well.

Now the home was much to his liking, but animal life he had none, so he created crawling creatures, that all mankind would shun.

First he made the rattlesnake, with its forked poisonous tongue, taught it to strike and rattle, and how to shallow its young.

Then he made scorpions and lizards, and the ugly old horned toad, he placed spiders of every description, under the rocks by the side of the road.

Then he ordered the sun to shine hotter, hotter and hotter still, until even the cactus wilted, and the old horned toads looked ill.

Then he gazed on his earthly kingdom, as any creator would, he chuckled a little, rolled up his sleeves, and admitted it was good.

T'was summer now and Satan, lay by a prickly pear to rest, the sweat rolled off his sweaty brow, so he took off his coat and vest.

"By golly", he finally panted, "I did my job to well, I'm going back to where I came from, Arizona is hotter than hell!"
