Content guidelines

A list of useless information that no one reads. Like, you won't do that stuff anyway, right?
These content guidelines are sooooo long that I'll skip them.

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?

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.

Runner Guidelines

1. It is important to load up on carbohydrates 2-4 hours before a big run.
Try a breakfast of a bagel, a banana (good cramp-crusher), oatmeal, strawberries, and/or some orange juice.
But from now on, eat all of your breakfast runner-style.
Liquids are digested faster. So slop it in a blender, and smoothiefy it.
That way, no energy is wasted, and it's all about the run.

2. Don't forget to give yourself plenty of positive reinforcement.
Say to yourself things like:
This is gonna be your best run yet.
You're going to accomplish all of your goals.
You are a robot sent from the future to win the marathon.
It's go time.
This will be the performance of a lifetime.
It is on, till the break of dawn!
You are a live wire, a spark plug, a dynamo.
You are unstoppable, unbeatable, untouchable.
You are a relentless driving force.
You are a timeless powerhouse.
You will complete this run, come home, get in your big underpants, and take a nap.
Facial feedback and self-spoken support are key factors in fueling those tanks and charging up those batteries.

3. Chafing or blisters can occur in a number of areas, including the feet, armpits, and especially the nipple region.
Use petroleum jelly on the affected areas. This will relieve any irritated skin.

4. Remember the "Rest Day". Keep it holy.

5. Nose running like a waterfall or a faucet? A real gusher? Move others away from the spray zone, and snotrocket. Total jetstream. Just open the floodgates. Aim steadily, and fire.
