Hicking

While perusing Plenty of Fish the other day, I found something that made me weep for the future of mankind. The profile of a young woman had an interest in "hicking." I immediately figured that it must be a spelling mistake, but that theory was called into question when I noticed that the interest was hyper linked.

Something to note: Interests on Plenty of Fish only get turned into a hyper link after a certain number of people have all put the same interest. Clicking on the link will then show you a list of people who have that interest on their profile.

My next thought was that perhaps this was some slang word that I was unfamiliar with. It wouldn't be the first time and slang is this constantly evolving entity. I went to the standard collection of retarded language, Urban Dictionary, to find my answer. Sadly, Urban Dictionary returned no results.

Now, what this means is that there are enough illiterate, lazy morons on Plenty of Fish that are incapable of correctly spelling "hiking" to have it show up as a valid interest. Awesome.
