Tubular

Dictionary.com defines the word "tubular" as "of or pertaining to a tube."  I almost got a little teensy bit upset because I thought they were going to leave out the true and sacred meaning.  Luckily for the little people at this illiterate teen's dream site, they included what I was searching for; tubular:
 
mod. excellent. (Surfing and later general youth slang. Having to do with a tube [wave] that is good to surf in.)  :  that pizza was totally tubular.

This is not a drill. I repeat, this is not a drill. Who decided that the word "excellent" was the most appropriate way to represent tubular? There are plenty of other much better choices.  None come to mind but that's a mere oversight.  
I further expanded my slang vocabulary by checking out the popular "dude." Here is the result: 

mod. excellent. (See also dudical.)  :  The game was severely dude. We won!

What in the name of Totally Kyle is going on? Some sick, sick individual just decided to slack on his research of slang terms and deemed half of them as meaning "excellent?" What's next? Will "da bomb" also be synonymous with "excellent?" I refuse to stand by and let such an injustice pass under the watchful eye of Lady Liberty.  
To join my cause and fight the ever tightening bands of online dictionary incorrectness, please call 1-800-TUBULAR and send a donation. Or hunt down these criminals yourself and egg their houses. Thank you and have a tubular day!
