I believe that if we are serious about turning sheng into a formal language then we need a site like http://www.urbandictionary.com/ if we are to harmonise across the country or region.

As I keep repeating, annoyingly, I grew up in eastlands (mimi sio mbabi) and one thing I know is that sheng is not homogeneous beyond 100 meters of where you are standing.
