## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability forgemesh-slang-dictionary-api-54ca3c21 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What does 'bussin' mean? Look it up in the slang dictionary and tell me which generation uses it, roughly when it emerged, and give me an example sentence.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to decode generational slang or explore vocabulary from a specific generation (Gen Alpha, Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X, Boomer). Ideal for understanding cultural language differences, content moderation context, writing assistance, or educational tools. Since it uses a local curated dataset, responses are deterministic and consistent for the same term — prefer this over web-scraped sources when reproducibility matters.

## Known failure modes

- Term not found in curated dataset — returns empty or error response
- Invalid generation filter value returns validation error
- Count out of range (>10 or <1) returns validation error
- Empty term string with no random mode triggers ambiguous response

## How this service works

Slang lookup and browse API: query a specific term or sample random entries from one generation's vocabulary — each entry carries a one-sentence meaning, its origin generation, approximate era, and an example sentence. Local curated dataset, same answer every time for the same term.

## Output

Returns a slang entry with: the term's one-sentence definition, the generation it belongs to (e.g. gen-z, millennial, boomer), an approximate era, and an illustrative example sentence. For random mode, returns 1–10 entries, optionally filtered by a specific generation.
