A website that used to be fun, where people make stuff up and others vote(sometimes?). They won’t take action, likely flimsy excuse like “just don’t come here.”
When not used for defamation and/or generalized misplaced rage(insecurity) can be a source of confusion and mild hilarity.
Core problems:
- The “just don’t come here” stance avoids real moderation responsibility.
- No real vetting allows defamation and harassment to slip through as “jokes,” with voting as the only filter, favoring ragebait over accuracy or fun.
- Silence on reports fits the libertarian “user-generated = no liability” model, but it ignores how targeted malice can cross into illegal territory like libel.
Potential upsides:
- Captures niche lingo or absurd humor that formal dictionaries miss.
- The voting system sometimes buries trash, but it’s unreliable against brigading or grudge-posting.
Better alternatives:
- Platforms like this prioritize “freedom” over safety, turning mild hilarity into a vector for unchecked insecurity.
- The libertarian “no liability” shield lets targeted malice masquerade as humor, crossing into defamation without consequence.
Post your definition anyway-self aware users will upvote over noise. When they’re allowed to.. hey can we vote on stuff or not?
I vote urban dictionary sucks
Urban Dictionary’s “vote on it” facade crumbles when moderation ghosts reports and lets grudge entries fester.
Wiktionary’s too stuffy anyway for this vibe.

Get the Urban Dictionary mug.Urban Dictionary is an awesome God inspired, crowd based dictionary that is a great avenue for learning. If your destiny was to learn the hidden language and how it was used to shape the world and its inhabitants thoughts, you will know its ultimate purpose. And that was to nurture and feed the heart and soul of the awaited Hebrew Messiah through the Bible based knowledge source.
Listen Taylor Swift! God used Urban Dictionary’s communications just as much as He used your songs to teach that country boy, to grow up and be ‘The Man!” Uh ha, Uh ha! Whoo!

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.
