approve new words 

A feature on Urban Dictionary that let's you approve the definitions thought up by the masses (because the people who run Urban Dictionary have gotten too lazy to do it themselves). Most of them tend to be names submitted by egotistical teenagers (see urbandictionary names), and the few that are funny or at least relevant often times don't get approved because half of the people using the "approve new words" section are just trying to push their own shitty name submission.
I tried out UD's approve new words feature and all I saw were ass-kissing name submissions.

Approach anxiety  

Approach anxiety (AA) is a term used to describe a man who feels highly nervous, awkward and distressed during (or even before) the act of approaching and getting to know women he has never met before. While the anxiety often derives from a greater social phobia, approach anxiety itself derives specifically from man's belief that he is very likely to be rejected by the woman of his desire in unplesant and harsh ways.

In most cases, a man who tries to overcome this particular anxiety may experience symptoms such as rapid heart rate, clammy hands and excessive body sweating, thought paralysis (i.e 'going blank' or 'freezing up'), rapid speach, uncharacteristic stuttering, unintentional fidgeting and many other forms of physical or mental reactions to high stress.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
