Don't publish this

'Don't publish this' is a method of submitting definitions on Urban Dictionary that is just as likely to get your definition published as writing definitions that are thoughtful and inventive. By no means should this definition be published.

Don't publish this. Don't you fucking dare!

publish and perish

That awkward process of simultaneously publishing **amazing** scientific articles and realizing you still have literally zero chance at any career...ever. It is widely considered the realistic variant of the commonly known "publish or perish".

Kevin: I just published another paper in a highly reputable journal!!
Aleks: Oh...that's nice. So here is the $23.95 for the pizza...
Kevin: What about my tip!?
Aleks: Uhhh, uhhh....see you next week! **slams door**
Kevin: Gawd dammit!! I need a new job... #gradstudentproblems #pizzadeliveryproblems
--- Three hours later ---
Aleks: Poor, poor Kevin. Publish and perish, indeed...

Alphascript Publishing

A company that cuts and pastes wikipedia articles without any editing and sells them for overly inflated amounts of money. They are infamous for their poor attention to picture details as well as a bad return policy.

Guy 1: LOL, did you see the cover of the Country of Georgia's Alphascript Publishing book? They put a picture of the Georgia state capitol on the book instead of the actual country!

Guy 2: Well, that's nothing. My book about Islam has about a paragraph with nothing but dick jokes and racial insults in it.

Dont Publish

The button all urbandictionary.com "editors" click on when editing every word they come across in an effort to keep the words they made up as popular as possible, preventing potentially better words from showing up.

"why didn't these faggots publish my word? Fuck these fools, I'll get back at everyone by becoming an editor and clicking Dont Publish for every word I see."

Patterson Publish

To give up half your credit on a book you wrote to James Patterson in order to have it sell well.

Harry just got a book published, but it was Patterson Published, so he really won't be getting all the attention for it
