shock value

The only value in filthy, disgusting, violent, or obscene materials in the media (television shows, movies, online forums, etc.). Ironically, these things have become so common that even the shock value is gone, leaving their existence pointless and the masses desensitised (or disgusted).

The reason half the definitions on UD exist.
You can't show that on television! Oh, wait, nevermind.

bicurious

Label a pubescent girl affixes to herself in order to appear sexually trendy.

Of all non-heterosexual "orientations," bicurious has the fewest long-lasting repercussions and is therefore adopted by girls who wish to appear different or exciting to males their age.

Bicurious girls are not interested in females (if they were, they would actually call themselves lesbian or bisexual); instead, they wish to attract young men who find the prospect of potential girl-on-girl action incredibly hot.

To be fair, the term is also used by lesbian and bisexual girls who are still uncomfortable with their sexuality, or who are testing the waters before coming out to their friends or family.
Trina: Sally, I... want to tell you something.
Sally: What is it, hon?
Trina: Well... I like you.
Sally: Oh my God, you're a lesbian?
Trina: No!
Sally: ...you're bisexual?
Trina: Well, not exactly.
Sally: So... what are you?
Trina: I'm bicurious.
Sally: Oh, you're a trendwhore.

Elphaba

According to author Gregory Maguire, the name of the Wicked Witch of the West, tragic antiheroine of The Wizard of Oz. From the initials of Oz author L. Frank Baum: eLFaBa.

Also the "title" character of the musical Wicked, based on Maguire's book Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West.

Used as an epithet for one whose actions are cold-hearted (as in the classic view of a wicked witch), or used sarcastically when one's actions are misguidedly noble or terroristic in nature. (In Maguire's book, Elphaba spent several years as part of a terrorist group fighting the injustices the Wizard caused for the people and Animals of Oz.)
Example of sarcastic use in response to miguidedly noble intent:

Irate Urbandictionary Editor: This is ridiculous. How do all these crap definitions get through?! I'm going to freaking hack this site and delete all the crap ones.
Annoyed, but Slightly Calmer Editor: Whatever you say, Elphaba.

nbook

Shorthand for notebook, those lovely 70-page, spiral bound masterpieces of history notes and math problems.

Used when you simply don't have the time to write out all eight letters, or as an affectionate name for a diary or journal.
(from an assignment book) hw: find nbook, do maths, page 137

Dear NBook,
I have a crush on Josh. I'm so embarrassed! What if he finds out?!

Chloraseptic

God's gift to all who must suffer through the cold season.

Comes in a spray bottle. Spritz it into your mouth, and it will numb your throat at least long enough for the the Nyquil you're taking to knock you out cold.

garbanzo bean

A way-cooler word for chickpeas, and a major ingredient in hummus.

Something that must remain stocked at all times in college cafeteria salad bars. This is on pain of death or violent dismemberment by hoardes of trendy, enraged, pita-and-hummus-consuming college students.
This is your first night working the salad bar? Okay. First thing you need to do is figure out where we keep the garbanzo beans. Check the coolers. Find them. I don't even know what the freaking things are, but God help us if we ever run out of them.
