World class monkeys
"To be a world-class city we need to have good quality housing",
Ajay Maken said in an interview in his office in an upscale part of Delhi
where power failures are rare and the water supply is good (although
wild monkeys dance on the cars of officials outside, resistant
to all campaigns to banish them).

renting out the property, the Beijing Morning Post and China
Daily newspapers said.

Urban Dictionary
urbandictionary is looking good.
Collaborative nature compels user contributions
and feedback, thumbsupping or thumbsdowning
competing definitions on clarity, detail, and

accuracy (for those in the know.

o the traditional dictionary.
Its information architecture lists adjacent and
related words, and offers endless serendipity.
Example: garaigo.
