As you've probably noticed, the slang synonyms for "term" are listed above. Note that due to the nature of the algorithm, some results returned by your query may only be concepts, ideas or words that are related to "term" (perhaps tenuously). This is simply due to the way the search algorithm works.
You might also have noticed that many of the synonyms or related slang words are racist/sexist/offensive/downright appalling - that's mostly thanks to the lovely community over at Urban Dictionary (not affiliated with Urban Thesaurus). Urban Thesaurus crawls the web and collects millions of different slang terms, many of which come from UD and turn out to be really terrible and insensitive (this is the nature of urban slang, I suppose). Hopefully the related words and synonyms for "term" are a little tamer than average.
The Urban Thesaurus was created by indexing millions of different slang terms which are defined on sites like Urban Dictionary. These indexes are then used to find usage correlations between slang terms. The official Urban Dictionary API is used to show the hover-definitions. Note that this thesaurus is not in any way affiliated with Urban Dictionary.
Due to the way the algorithm works, the thesaurus gives you mostly related slang words, rather than exact synonyms. The higher the terms are in the list, the more likely that they're relevant to the word or phrase that you searched for. The search algorithm handles phrases and strings of words quite well, so for example if you want words that are related to lol and rofl you can type in lol rofl and it should give you a pile of related slang terms. Or you might try boyfriend or girlfriend to get words that can mean either one of these (e.g. bae). Please also note that due to the nature of the internet (and especially UD), there will often be many terrible and offensive terms in the results.
There is still lots of work to be done to get this slang thesaurus to give consistently good results, but I think it's at the stage where it could be useful to people, which is why I released it.
Special thanks to the contributors of the open-source code that was used in this project: @krisk, @HubSpot, and @mongodb.

Why do you feel the need to hurt yourself? What have you done to deserve such punishment?

Have you ever sat down and listed all of things that make you feel bad? Do you lay awake at night ponderring ways to hurt yourself? Do you feel like you are hitting someone else? From the sounds of it, you don't want to die, you just don't want the pain, is this true?

I think we get into a habit, we find a way of acting out when a certain feeling hits us, and thus we repeat it. That energy has to get processed.
Awareness is the key to modifying any behavior, you are aware you are doing it, thus you can choose to controll it. I am sure there is some long drawn out process to discover the reason behind why you do what you do, but sometimes, I wonder if the exploration is worth the trip, if you know what I mean. The thing to do, when you find your self in a wrist banging mode, is to go duh, I'm doing it again, and discover for yourself, a different way to process the energy, writing, is a good way for self discovery, the who what why, for the trigger.

I suppose I feel kinda dead inside, if I hit myself and feel pain or bleed I know I'm normal and feel like other people.

You say that you feel dead inside and the pain makes you feel normal. Feeligs are never wrong because they are the truest expression, no thought, just feeling. No one knows your feelings like you do. Causing yourself pain is not the way to go. Have you ever tried ripping up a phone book? It is theraputic and releases alot of energy...I have torn up a few myself and it doesn't hurt me, but I get the same result!
