**ud** is a command-line tool for the [Urban Dictionary][urban-dic].

[urban-dic]: http://www.urbandictionary.com

## Example

    $ ud dafuq

    * dafuq (11644/4888):

        [what the fuck] , but in a more confused manner

     Example:

        Hagrid: You're a wizard Harry

        Harry: Dafuq?

## Install

    gem install ud

Windows users: You will need the Win32 Console ANSI gem for the colored output.

Install it with `gem install win32console`.

## Usage

From the command-line:

    $ ud 

It supports a few options:

- `-n`, `--count`: maximum number of definitions (default: 1)

- `-m`, `--random`: print a random definition instead

- `--no-color`: disable colored output.

- `-b`, `--browser`: open the results in your browser instead of displaying

  them in the console

In a Ruby script:

```ruby

require "ud"

defs = UD.query("wtf")

```
