An urban zombie is a person who works for at least 16 hours a day, usually from Monday to Saturday, without any overtime pay. He/she is from the Big 4 (EY, PwC, Deloitte, KPMG). Just like a real zombie, the urban zombie multiplies by eating the brains, spirit, willpower and a passion of fresh graduates, luring them with words like 'work-life balance' and invisible bonus packages.
The only way to cure an urban zombie is called the RL vaccine (short for resignation letter vaccine). However, one cannot simply give the vaccine to an urban zombie, because an urban zombie's heart and mind is full of empty promises and tight deadlines.

Get the Urban dictionarymug. A person who uses his or her own hands to warp reality into whatever the situation calls for. Whether it's tools for making pizza cones, or artistic expression through beer cans, the urban blacksmith always comes through, creating just what you need.
Person: Wow, I have no idea how we're going to make pizza cones.
Urban Blacksmith: *Crushes aluminum in hand, and opens hands to reveal the perfect tool for making pizza cones* Why not try this?

Get the Urban Blacksmithmug. Person 1: Do you have an Urban Dictionary account?
Person 2: No.
Person 1: Why?
Person 2: Why waste my time writing meaningless definitions, only to be waited on by some random people who are biased, who believe that contributing to this ludicrously inappropriate website requires some sort of approval?
Person 1: Well.
Person 2: No.

Get the urban goldmug. Much like the urban fox. This creature can be seen slumming it across London, speaking as though they hadn't spent a night at that £10,000 a term boarding school, re-appropriating working class and afro-carribbean culture before returning to the flat mummy and daddy bought for them in a working class cleansing new build.
