Is There A Chinese Version of Urban Slang Dictionary?

Question

Many questions on this site concern various modern slang/dialect usages that require fairly extensive (and sometimes still unsuccessful) searches through the web. Every time I think about these questions, I wonder about whether, if I were a Chinese person dealing with similar weirdnesses in English, I would find the Urban Dictionary very useful (I find it useful even as an English-speaking person dealing with all the weirdnesses of English).

Does such a crowdsourced "database" of colloquial Chinese usages exist on the Internet? Is there any such good one-stop online place to do searches on Chinese slang?

Not that I know about. I even think that I should make one. As a native speaker, I encounter new slangs online very often as well. And I found that most of the time I got to Baidu them. — user1228520, Mar 07 '15 at 01:39

I stumbled upon this website: www.liyuslang.com I think it's pretty good. Was hoping to find other similar ones. Looks like there aren't many out there.
