I've recently realized that the daily "Street talk" feature in 24 hours Vancouver apparently just showcases the Urban Dictionary "Word of the Day" from the previous day. I knew they were from Urban Dictionary, but I thought someone at 24 hours picked (a clean) one at random - I didn't know that Urban Dictionary actually featured one. Yesterday's "Dungeon Tan" in 24 hours Vancouver had a definition that was almost exactly the same as Urban Dictionary's. Today, though, the paper's definition seen above is decidedly different from the Urban Dictionary definition; disappear - misspelled or not - is not in the latter. Can't try to pass the blame buck this time, 24 hours.
