To resolve Google's penalty

I've been forced to censor all 5,300 citations of slang use.
With the penalty in place, there's just no way to compete on a level playing field
with dictionaries that don't have citations. Guys: I'm sorry.

Definition of tanorexia
tanorexia
noun - uncountable
- an addiction to tanning one's skin. Tanorexics may use a tanning booth, and may develop leathery orange skin. Just like anorexia, there is an altered sense of reality - in this case they think the tan looks awesome.
That girl has tanorexia, someone needs to tell her to stay out of the tanning bed!
