So last week Nathan sent me a link to rule 26 on UrbanDictionary.com. Which is possibly the laziest excuse for a “definition” I have ever seen. It’s a poorly written entry. A much better example is the first listing of rule 34, which is similar to rule 26 but actually defines like a dictionary should. At the suggestion of Nathan, I submitted my first entry to UrbanDictionary.com for a phrase I coined today. I don’t think it will get published for awhile, if it even makes it.
verb – To offer constructive feedback on a design before the design is carried out to fruition. Usually reserved for fashion but can apply to pretty much anything. Refers to Tim Gunn, from the American reality TV show, Project Runway.Other variations include using names of the judges from Project Runway (“Heidi Klum it”, “Michael Kors it”, “Nina Garcia it”) however, these would be used to criticize something after creation and not before.
“I have the draft done but I need someone to Tim Gunn it.”“OMG, did you see Betsy Johnson’s new spring collection? Shoulda Tim Gunned that shit when it was still a sketch.”
