Urban Dictionary Content Guidelines

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 that you follow a few ground rules:


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 Word of the Day 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 straight up 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.

🛑
Don’t post personal information. 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.
What was the point of putting the Urban Dictionary content guidelines here if there's already just that at the top of the page though?

where i come to look at crazy words because i obviously have nothing else to do with my life and if you’re reading this then you obviously have nothing to do with your life. And i’m sorry to break it to you but my goldfish just died, i know how much we all loved him and he impacted this world a lot. You’re probably going crazy because you don’t remember meeting my goldfish but lemme tell u something: my goldfish is magnificent. He erased your memories of ever knowing him. Yes, he was your boyfriend. Yes, you were going to get married. Yes, i never had a goldfish and IM REALLY BORED RIGHT NOW, please let this word be submitted to the Urban Dictionary because i spent a lot of my time writing this and if there are any typo’s then blame auto correct because i really hate it.
My goldfish was looking up his girlfriend’s name on Urban Dictionary.

Uber Dictionary

People, especially literal fish and gingers who have the attention span and memory of a gold fish, who forgot how to spell "Urban Dictionary." While usually caused by mistake, it's not surprising if you were wondering why you couldn't get to this website because of this, congratulations.
"Dude, what's that one website? Uber Dictionary?"

"Dude I've been googling Uber Dictionary for half an hour now I can't find it."
