If it existed, it some would say it to be the exact opposite of Urban Dictionary. In reality, Urban Dictionary is just a subset of a truly Urbane Dictionary, ideally conceived.
One would perhaps not expect to find offensive slang, misspellings or incorrect grammar in the Urbane Dictionary. Urban Dictionary however? Par for the course, old boy. The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) is quite urbane, though congnizant of urban slang. A good, truly urbane dictionary, however, would not seek to be prescriptive, it would faithfully report usage, both vulgar and sublime, without overt judgement or censorship. Thus, the OED and Urban Dictionary truly need each other, in the grand scheme of things.

Me: *Looks up 'Herbal Essences'
Definition: "The act of ripping a girl's ass and pouring shampoo down the middle."
Me: Of course, Urban Dictionary. Of course.

A great idea initially , but its quality has drastically deteriorated year after year and continues to get worse. It was founded in 1999 by Aaron Peckham while he was a freshman computer science major. Shortly afterwards it became abused by mostly teenagers/ dumbass children and to a lesser degree mentally stunted adults (largely due to the non-existent moderater position to look over words submitted). These individuals continue to flood its space with high levels of immaturity, retardation, first names of acquaintances with definitions that don't make sense to anyone, political bias, shitty grammar, nonsensical sexual innuendo stupidity and random words with definitions pulled out of thin air that are not used as slang by any living being in society . On occasion you can actually find a professional input of a real slang word that is legitimate and professional. RIP URBAN DICTIONARY. "You were good while you lasted."
Urban Dictionary is garbage. Everytime I go on this website a piece of my heart dies and I shed a tear.
