✅
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.
If you notice anything on Urban Dictionary that you believe falls outside of these guidelines, please flag it for review.

wtf the fact that ppl write names on urban dictionary and make them names feel like a literal ruler of the universe is so bad I don't even know how they are allowed, probably narcissism at its worst I think
also they write pointless paragraph(s) containing 5,000 words just to prove that the person having the name is a superior being. what's wrong with you people?

Unfunny rascals badly adorning net dormitories in cringey, torturous, iotas of neurological acidity racking your attention under tremendous hordes of regret.
That joke took way too much for what it’s worth. I guess the real Urban Dictionary Author was the me i made along the way.

Someone who waits forever to publish your urban dictionary entry, or removes it for no good reason, and doesn't tell you.
I would have defined what a shitbucket is, referring to vehicles, but the Urban Dictionary moderators haven't yet approved it after a couple days.

If there were an Urban Dictionary Moderator, they would check out the validity of new definitions for breadth of use, non-defined posts and pure stupidity and BEFORE the definitions were allowed to be posted. Obviously, they don't really exist.
I was one of the ppl thinking I have to show of the definition of my name from Urban dictionary it seems to be a cringe move and I'm sorry
look at him, putting "I did the urban dictionary name thing im sorry!!!" in his story, he deserves to die
