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 May 2025, 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/waltergrYou 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.
