When one is the victim of a crime, esp. robbery, murder Urban Dictionary

All these morons are pissing me off! People think that they're so smart when they come in here as grammar experts when they really don't know a single thing about it. "Got" is a real word and it has a real use and almost no one knows it. People will often say "I got to go to the store" when it should be "I have to go to the store". People will also say "I got three dollars" when it should be "I have three dollars". But, the correct usage of "got" is the past tense of "get". This version of "got" should be able to be replaced with "received". For example, "I got a computer last year" IS a correct English sentence. Urban Dictionary

A word used in place of "have" when "have" would be more appropriate. "Got" referrs to just receiving something, whereas "have" means that you already own it. Urban Dictionary

An ambiguous term used to express that a potential hook-up/romantic interest/etc. possesses multiple, unnamed desirable qualities—most commonly material ones (i.e. desirable physical characteristics, wealth or the trappings thereof, etc.)— that the speaker asserts makes the person being spoken about more attractive than other potentials. "Got" can be seen as trumping "hot" when one is choosing between multiple "hot" possibilities. It is likely/possible that the usage evolved from the more common "s/he's hot," either from conventional informal phonetic play or even from internet/typo humor (as in teh), as the "g" character is adjacent to the "h" character on keyboards using the standard qwerty layout. Urban Dictionary

When people are retarded and come onto a website where terms are meant to be slang, then proceed to say that everyone else is dumb for using a website for fun. G.O.T.=GET OFF THIS! Urban Dictionary

The word the English language is obsessed with, and it doesn't even really exist. Urban Dictionary

When you realize that you said something stupid and you catch yourself before someone gives you a point.( Which means if they say point after you've said got the point goes to them.) Urban Dictionary

(n.) A lesser known abbreviation got the word 'faggot'. Mainly used to avoid awkward situations in public, while still trying to insult friends. Urban Dictionary

One of my least favorites, if not THE least favorite, word in the english language. It isn't even a real word and gets used constantly. Urban Dictionary
