Submission Guidelines

Help us build the best Nepali slang dictionary by following these guidelines when submitting words.

What to Submit

  • Slang and informal words — terms commonly used in casual conversation but not found in formal dictionaries
  • Regional expressions — words or phrases unique to specific areas of Nepal
  • Youth and internet slang — modern terms used by younger generations online and offline
  • Nepanglish/Nepenglish/Nepangreji terms — creative Nepali-English blends that have become part of everyday speech
  • Idioms and phrases — colloquial expressions with meanings different from their literal interpretation

What Not to Submit

  • Standard dictionary words — words already well-documented in formal Nepali dictionaries
  • Personal names or private information — references to specific individuals
  • Hate speech or discriminatory content — slurs targeting ethnicity, caste, religion, gender, or sexuality
  • Made-up words — terms you invented that aren't actually used by others
  • Spam or promotional content — advertisements or irrelevant submissions

Writing Good Definitions

Be clear and concise

Explain the meaning in simple terms. Avoid overly complex language or unnecessary words.

Include context

Mention where or how the word is typically used (e.g., "common among college students" or "used in Kathmandu").

Add an example sentence

Show how the word is used in a real conversation. This helps others understand the proper usage.

Be accurate

Only define words you've actually heard or used. Don't guess at meanings.

Example Submission

Word: Jhyap
Definition: To suddenly disappear or leave without notice; to ghost someone or a situation.
Example: "Tyo manchhe party bata jhyap bhayo." (That person just disappeared from the party.)

About Explicit Content

We understand that slang often includes crude or explicit language. If you're submitting a word that's vulgar or NSFW (not safe for work), please mark it as such during submission.

NSFW words will be hidden by default and only shown to users who choose to view them. This helps keep NepBoli accessible while still documenting the full range of Nepali expression.

Moderation Process

All submissions are reviewed before being published. This helps us maintain quality and ensure content follows our guidelines. The review process typically takes 24-48 hours.

If your submission is rejected, it may be because it didn't meet our guidelines or a similar entry already exists. Feel free to try again with a different word or improved definition.
