Publish Cheating 

Publish Cheating is the act of adding a word to the Urban Dictionary and then editing the Urban Dictionary until you see the word you submitted and publish it, however, publish cheating does not always guarantee the word you submitted will be published. I have currently editted over 900 words in the hopes of getting my definitions published, and it has worked for most of them.
I sincerly doubt my definition of batterball would have been published had I not been publish cheating at the time.
