Every definition on Urban Dictionary was written by a user like you. About a thousand definitions are sent to Urban Dictionary every day, but only half enter the hallowed ranks beside ratchet, Harlem Shake, and Cleveland Steamer. People often email and ask, why didn’t my definition get published? Well, we’d like to know too.

The truth is, we don’t decide. Sometimes we’re just as puzzled. Some rejected definitions seem perfectly good to us. Sometimes we wouldn’t vote for a definition, but we can’t really say why. Urban Dictionary’s users get to edit the content, so they get to decide. However, since this is a frequent question, we thought we’d look into how users make the decision to publish or not publish a particular definition.

We wanted to understand what matters in a definition, what helps it get accepted. To do this, we started by asking users to just describe a list of eight random submissions. We gave people one line of text to describe the submission. For example, one of the words was “phil collins.”
Not Published
People described this definition as “Somewhat biased”, “opinionated”, or “NO! PHIL COLLINS IS THE SHIT”. We collected 69 responses for each word, grouped them together and tried to find the main idea in the description. We continued to group things together until we ended up with eight categories.

An email that is commonly taken personally by people when their definition on Urban Dictionary is not published. It goes like:

Thanks for your definition of ________!

A few volunteer editors read your definition and decided to not publish it. Don't take it personally!

To understand what definitions we publish and reject, check out this blog post: (definitions can't contain links)

Try rewriting your definition so that it's easier for others to understand, then try again.

Thanks,

Then follows the rejected definition.
Mark: Mate, my definition on Urban Dictionary was not published
Josiah: Those savage volunteer editors.

Robinhood Publishers 

Publishing houses that rob their star authors to pay bonuses to their oft-underpaid and overworked editors and their bosses, using all kinds of creative strategies to avoid getting caught, while family-owned publishers would notoriously overpay themselves and their loved ones or relatives first, but underpay their employees.
Even in low-corruption Singapore, it’s an open secret that Robinhood publishers continue to thrive, because most authors who’ve a sixth sense of being shortchanged couldn’t afford the legal means to suing them for their decades-long shady business practices.
