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.

notes
- Likely a shortened form of a spoken word with many spellings, including toot-a-loo, too-da-loo, toodaloo, toodle-oo, toodleoo. All are possibly a misspelling of the French "a` tout a` l'heure", meaning "see you later".
