Urban Dictionary syndrome

When someone stumbles upon Urban Dictionary when looking for words on Google, thinking that Urban is the name of just another dictionary publisher. They look up a word, find something silly or offensive, and wonder what Urban Dictionary is.
I got Urban Dictionary syndrome in 2007 when I discovered Urban Dictionary looking for big number names like googoldecaplex. I looked up another word and was shocked at a word that came into view.

Often reffered to as UDS.
people with low self esteem or are undergoing emotionally tough times will use Urban Dictionary to fufill their emotional needs. They invent words and phrases and hope it gets a thumbs up. If their posts get a positive reception, they will go into an extremely euphoric state. However, if it turns out to be a total failure, the Urban Dictionary Syndrome will worsen.

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.
