Urbandoctrination 

Using Urbandictionary.com as a means to push a political, religious, philosophical, etc. ideal by either making derogatory terms against groups that disagree with your viewpoint or taking already-existing terminology and explaining it through a biased point of view.
Someone who does this is called an Urbandoctrinator.
Urbandoctrination is a serious issue on this website right now. While people are entitled to their opinions, Urbandictionary is a horrible website to exercise them, on the account that there is no comment system on which to discuss the terms and their definitions with the exception of a bare-bones like/dislike system that, again, fails in the presence of a popular opinion. This leads to a phenomenon where you can post an opinionated definition with very little means to challenge or argue its validity. It's a downward spiral that does very little but cause those with extreme opinions to double down. Not to mention that it just adds to the enormous issue of scaring people who aren't themselves invested in the topic away from having a civil discussion. Again, there's nothing wrong with having opinions, but there are far better platforms to voice them. And if you have time to write a 1000+ word definition on a topic you disagree with, you probably have time to do more productive things with your life.

"Let's see what the word of the day is today. Oh, it's just another thinly veiled half-assed jab at a subject that's been beaten to death already. Urbandoctrinators are killing this site."

urbandonation 

When you're browsing Urbandictionary.com and you see a very old definition that still has little or no votes. You then vote it up out of sympathy, much like in reality when you see a hobo without money.
Jack: Holy fuck, 3 years and this definition has 0 votes? Poor bastard...*gives urbandonation*

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
