Symbols are things like backslashes, forward slashes, right brackets, left brackets, and so on.
Enough of them in Urban Dictionary's search bar and it mixes with Urban Dictionary's code (where a single typo can destroy everything.) This mixing then shows the "Urban Dictionary is busy right now" screen.
So many people have seen the screen that it is now defined on Urban Dictionary.
Add too many (honestly not that many) symbols and Urban Dictionary fails to process the request.
} is an example (at least on my [system).

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
