Even if it were "for the kick of it" that would not be improper on Usenet,
but it is not.

This is an international NG using English as its medium of communication,
but that does not mean the natives can use local idiom ad random just for 
the same kick.

One should rather not presume on the language skills of the NG members,
outside their skills of the Javascript dialects.

So I hold that "urbandictionary" slang is out of bounds on this NG.

Sme objection.

Ah yes.

I doubt "bookmarklet" has an "official definition", but if you quote 
something, using it as an argument, you should be prepared such argument to 
be countered.

The game of responding to a response must be played by both sides,
so complaining that the other side plays that game does not hold.

Perhaps take the advice of Michael Haufe?

==============

I had hoped, however to get back to the matter of input and output of the 
bookmarklet, that's where somewhere the confusion began, methinks.

"location.href" could be such a dual function [read/write] method, but imho 
it should be thoroughly tested for the browser used.
