urban

Ur-ban refers to that which is banned or prohibited in the city or civilization. It means that which is banned with the establishment of the city or civilization, and that which began in the city which is banned. The city was and is important for the development of civilization and has many of mankind's great achievements, i.e. art, architecture, government, great cathedrals, commerce, industry, etc. Ur is the first city in history and is in present day Iraq where, along with Iran, civilization is thought to have begun in the area of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.

Urbanity

the sort of contrived, crass 'new word' based on some strained word-play, that has sadly become the norm on the Urban Dictionary...

'OK, what's the latest feeble, tortured Urbanity to show up onscreen today? What happened to real gritty slang ? Why has this site become a teenage playground ?'

Urbanism

A religion where people use the Holy Urban Dictionary to obtain knowledge. It was invented in June 2013. Followers of Urbanism, Urbanists, believe, (and it has been proven), that the Urban Dictionary knows everything there is to know. All Urbanists are epic and awesome. All Urbanists try to good deeds, such as eliminating all non-Urbanists, so that when they die, they will rise up to Urbania, the Holy Land of Urbanism. As of now, there are only 45,000 Urbanists in the world, but this number increases every day.

The Urban Dictionary recommends you convert to Urbanism unless you want to be eliminated non-Urbanist.

Urbanism is the most EPIC thing ever
