Definition Aging

The older the definition, the more exposure and (hopefully) likes and positive like ratio it gets.

Getting your definition to hopefully show up on obscure searches and enlighten them with a good, well explained, apt, concise definition.

Due to urban dictionary being less popular (maybe?), older definitions have an advantage, however a new definition with a strong like ratio may beat a years old one if people like it.
I can't believe these stupid definitions that hate on my favorite _____ (team, car, place, school, thing, interest, noun, proper noun, etc). It's all because of definition aging.

Bad Definition

A bad definition is a definition that uses derivatives of words or words with the same root to define the word.
Bad definition is a bad definition because it uses definition to define itself.
