  Dictionaries at least. And that's not just being pedantic. If you want
to write official text which is unambiguous and understandable by everyone
who speaks the language, you'll have to stick to dictionary definitions
and avoid use parlances which only a small segment of the population might
understand (especially if the rest may understand it wrongly).
