A person who looks up a word on Urban Dictionary for shits and giggles and reads it to their friends for laughs, but then begins to sink into the oncoming gargantuan feed of definitions for requested words. They cannot stop, as the moment they finish one definition they immediately fixate on the next.
The only cure is asking them to read the definition for a word obscure enough that there is only one definition for it. After they reach the end, there will reach a short window of time to intervene as they are confused by the possibility of a word on Urban Dict. not having infinite definitions.
Psychologists consider Acute Urban Addiction to be a combination of an addiction to doomscrolling or deadscrolling and Urban Dictionary's intuitive and convenient user interface.

(Abacus is being obnoxious during a discussion on names, so they ask their friend Baphomé to look up the definition of Abacus.)
Abacus: Hey Baphomé, what's the definition of Abacus?
Baphomé: Lemme look it up... on the URBAN DICTIONARY™!
(Baphomé reads from a long, unending list of definitions for Abacus's name. Some are made by friends of someone called Abacus, and those definitions placate and kiss-ass their Abacus. Others are made by enemies of someone made Abacus and describe their Abacus as a monster and fool. The definitions are unending all the same, and Baphomé's reading with them.)
Carrion: Baphomé, what's wrong‽
Abacus: She started reading Urban Dictionary and now she won't stop!
Carrion: She has Acute Urban Addiction! We need to get her to a doctor ASAP!

Get the Acute Urban Addictionmug. by Dr. William Wherd May 12, 2025
Get the Acutionmug. A temporary but intense feeling of anxiety, dread, or irrational fear that occurs specifically on Sunday, often in anticipation of the upcoming week. This phenomenon can be linked to the "Sunday Scaries" but is characterized by heightened paranoia, such as excessive worry about work, social interactions, or personal responsibilities. Symptoms may include intrusive thoughts, overanalyzing past or future events, and a sense of impending doom that fades once Monday begins or responsibilities are actively confronted.

Get the acute anglemug. by ilulyou November 17, 2020
Get the Acute Ejaculationmug. A very serious illness affecting the internal organs. Its occurs when the host (often non-black) is housing a younger middle age soulful black woman. This said black woman often grows inside of the host affecting their music taste, vernacular, and often accompanied by loud outburst of soulful hearty singing without warning. This persist undetected until the untimely end of the incubation process (often in the month of February , during Kwanzaa, or sometime at soulful R&B concerts and occasionally at church services). resulting in the host being absorbed and taken over completely. Although not fatal, there is a largely notable increase in attitude, melatonin, and overall spice and sassiness once this process has run its course. ...Do your part to detect AIS as early as you can.
"Boy Samantha keeps breaking out in bellows of soulful song, i hope she doesn't have Acute Intra-sistaitis."
