Urban Dictionary, formerly an actual dictionary, is now a platform with which people champion an ideology.

Get the Urban Dictionary mug.A popular online slang dictionary where 99.99% of the definitions are written by angsty teens with a bitter and cynical outlook on life, although most come from privileged middle class families and have their own credit cards.
Just go to Urban Dictionary and look up 'puppies' or 'sunshine', and I bet some bitter, angst-ridden teen has written a negative definition about it.

John was such a persistent urban squatter that when the news came that "n00b" and "slumdog" were contenders for the millionth word in the English language, he instantly logged on Urban Dictionary and urban squatted "slumdog n00b."

Get the urban squatted mug.This is the subset of Urban dictionary, where definers use definitions to vent their spite for a certain group of people, whether or not the word being defined is actually relevant. Definers will either make up a word (like I just did) or worse, piggyback on another word, and then begin spewing their hateful commentary. In my opinion, rather than polluting the definition, these people should just start a blog and say "I can't stand people who dress like X and come from Y and think of themselves as Z" and follow it up with some more penetrative commentary.
Often someone will express their distaste for something by attempting to coin a derogatory term for people who like that thing. Rather than simply state that they think that Edgar Meyer is a pedestrian musician, they try to characterize someone who would listen to Edgar Meyer as an ignorant philistine.
The definition you are reading may seem like an example, but it has the following important distinction: it describes the action that people that annoy me do. I am not implicitly asserting that other characterists correlate to committing such an action. I am not saying that people who do this wear Calvin Klein jeans, listen to Benny Goodman, come from a certain rural regions east of Duvall WA, or drive a metallic green Japanese hybrid vehicle.
