✅
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.

Get the Urban Dictionary Gif mug.An apparently pile-of-dirt version of Wikipedia. I don't visit this place very often, but if there are 70+ definitions for "Urban Dictionary" and around 90% of them say that it's basically a place where immature youth complain about everything and turn innocent words into sexual innuendo....there's probably some truth to it.
Ironically, these 70 or so people are all complaining about the same things and giving Copy-Paste + Thesaurus definitions themselves. In other words, they're saying the same things over and over in slightly different ways.

Person defining Urban Dictionary: This site used to be good until it was overrun by ignorant 16 year-old retards who whine and complain, write definitions for fake words, etc.
Next definer: A site where stupid teenagers make idiotic definitions for dumb words. Used to be good until 2005.
Person 3: urbandictionary was great until 2005, when it was taken over by teens (the dumbest people in the world) who just whine, make up dumb words, and stereotype people.
Etc.....

Get the Urban Dictionary mug.A website that allows you to type anything you want INSTEAD of a word definition and they won't care and everyone else will find it funny because they know you could always use a different dictionary or, you know, an actual dictionary.
