Words you can keep
Something that doesn’t happen to my definitions even though they all meet the community guidelines and I usually try to put definitions for words that aren’t on this website yet so yes, they are unique.
Person 1: urban dictionary didn’t publish my definition again
Person 2: urban dictionary sucks

publish and perish 

That awkward process of simultaneously publishing **amazing** scientific articles and realizing you still have literally zero chance at any career...ever. It is widely considered the realistic variant of the commonly known "publish or perish".

Kevin: What about my tip!?
Aleks: Uhhh, uhhh....see you next week! **slams door**
Kevin: Gawd dammit!! I need a new job... #gradstudentproblems #pizzadeliveryproblems

Aleks: Poor, poor Kevin. Publish and perish, indeed...

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.

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
