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).
