# Explain this Explain a slang term plainly, and say honestly whether using it would embarrass the user. ## Lookup order **1. The pack.** The vocabulary ships inside this skill, in the `data/` directory beside this file. Read `data/pack.json` (English) or `data/pack.de.json` (German), resolving the path against this skill's own directory — check both if you can't tell which the term belongs to, since several appear in both. If the term is there, you have a definition, both status axes, sourcing and a date. Answer from that, in the language the user asked in. If the Read fails, skip straight to step 2 and say the local pack was unavailable. **2. Live, on a miss.** The pack is curated and therefore small, while people ask about exactly the long-tail terms it won't have. A miss is normal, not a failure. Probe it: The probe ships in this skill too, at `scripts/probe.py`: ```bash python3 scripts/probe.py --defs "<term>" ``` It needs network access and a `python3`. If either is missing, or the script isn't there, skip it and rely on web search alone — say which sources you actually used. For a German term the probe is much weaker — Urban Dictionary is English-only and `de.wiktionary` doesn't implement the definition endpoint at all (it answers 501, which the script reports as `n/a` rather than a misleading "not found"). Lean on dated search results and the Jugendwort shortlists instead. Then run one web search to confirm current usage. The full interpretation rules live i
