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!

The irresistible appeal of something that isn't usually enjoyable, but has a unique quality that keeps you coming back for more.
Smell this parmesan cheese, it's got that addictive funk to it.
That melody has an addictive funk.
Sneezing has an addictive funk.
That melody has an addictive funk.
Sneezing has an addictive funk.

A pejorative label for overprotective, overgrown adults who cling to the comfort and safety of their metaphorical 'crib'—refusing to face discomfort, risk, or the real world. Often applied to those infantilized by modern conveniences, social coddling, or digital escapism, unable or unwilling to wean themselves off the soft confines of their echo chambers and comfort zones.
