In the name of all that is holy, do not search "Denver" on Urbandictionary.com. Most of what you'll find -- and what we did find -- are what we'll simply call very open-minded sexual acts, but that is a different list entirely. Instead, Westword did the dirty (dirty) work for you, delving into the depths of the Internet to uncover the semi-serious slang site's greatest (and strangest) tributes to our fair city's name. Ed note: We sincerely hope that not all of these are real things. You'll see why. 10. Denver air Urban Dictionary definition: "When someone is acting strange, showing odd behavior that is unlike themself. Caused from the effects (of) high altitude found in such cities as Denver, Colorado." Westword example: "Did you see Korn's lead singer huff out of an oxygen tank on stage? Must be the Denver air!" 9. Denver Nugget Urban Dictionary definition: "A salacious prank intended in the same spirit as an Upper Decker in which the perpetrator uses the restroom and proceeds to wipe himself with a nearby washcloth or decorative towel in attempts to clog the toilet and leave a messy surprise for the owner."

Denver chili bowl Urban Dictionary definition: "An involuntary circumstance involving glorified Super Bowl hype and ingesting 3 times more chili than a family of 5.

Westword example: "I'm sorry to have to miss your New Year's party, but you know what Denver delay's like. How about New Year's 2013?" 1. Denver Urban Dictionary definition: "One of the best cities ever! Some of you guys who don't like Denver have only experienced the lame people. Which, yeah, there is a fare share of lame people, but that's just like any other city. Once you get past the lame asses you will meet some of the chillest and most unique people. Maybe ever thought the reason people drive so slow is that they are high? Colorado weed is the shit! Every city has their problems so stop baggin' on Denver! And who ever said Denver was a party city? That doesn't make it any less cool.If you truly hate Denver then I am thinking you aren't even chill enough to be here." Westword example: This dude/lady said it all. Forget Mayor Hancock's "world-class city where everyone matters" motto, and let's focus on this.

Bonus round: Try to use all of these phrases in the same paragraph; then reflect on the quality and purpose of your life.
