Urban Dictionary is made by a community of millions, including you. Anybody can post a definition, but in order to keep things fun for everyone, we ask you to follow a few rules:
Do's (tick)
- Write for a large audience. When defining a word, make sure to provide enough context for other people to understand what it means and how it’s typically used. Need a little help? Look to our WOTD for some examples.
- Be creative. Some of the best definitions on Urban Dictionary find humorous ways to poke fun at authority, or put a clever twist on current events. Some of them are just weird. We’re okay with that.
- Have fun. We are not a traditional dictionary. This is a place where language has a little more space to be explored and constructed freely, in the moment.
Dont's (X):
- Don’t post personal info. That includes obvious things like last names and addresses, but we will also remove definitions containing first names or user handles if they can be used to identify and target specific individuals for harassment.
- Don’t be an asshole. We are okay with people defining offensive words. After all, people use offensive words in the real world and a resource for understanding what those words mean can be valuable. However, we are not—and never will be—okay with people using a definition to harass, discriminate, and/or directly incite violence against others.
If you notice anything on Urban Dictionary that you believe falls outside of these guidelines, please flag it for review.

Person: Hmm! I thought of defining a word on Urban Dictionary today!
*The person goes to urbandictionary.com*
Person: Oh! I would need to read the Urban Dictionary Content Guidelines first before creating/defining a word! I should read it.

Media or literature that is so stupid it does not require a single brain cell to understand the context

A form of sanitized language or euphemism used by online content creators when discussing sensitive or serious topics. This vocabulary, which includes words like "unalive" instead of "kill," is primarily used to avoid demonetization by advertisers on various platforms. The practice ultimately desensitizes the audience to the gravity of these subjects by watering down the very language used to describe them.
"Dude, did you hear about that little boy? Got graped and unalived by a PDF file, it's so messed up."
"Are you fucking serious right now?! You're talking about a child being raped and murdered by a pedophile and you're using that sanitized, spineless content speak bullshit?! What the absolute fuck is wrong with you? Talk like a goddamn human being!"

When a person, namely an influencer, streamer, or content creator, intentionally performs poorly in whatever they do for the sake of a few extra clicks, likes, comments, follows, & subscriptions, no matter how good or bad the outcomes of said decisions might be.
Person A: "Did you see what our team mate was doing that match?"
Person B: "Yeah, our streamer team mate who failed to push the payload the entire match? They're always throwing for content. We don't matter as long as they get some extra cash in their pocket."
