Meaning of the word 'the life'?
My friend who is a psychology graduate wants to create a new website and decided the name 'Master the life'. As a non-native speaker, he checked the meaning of the word 'the life' and shocked to see it is referred as criminal ( http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=the%20life )
Can anyone please tell me, is the word 'the life' really used to refer Criminal either in formal or casual way?
Thanks in advance
