“People need to realize this is supposed to be funny”

Everyone saying that it's a bad site doesn't realize that this isn't the real definition. If you want real answers other than something that doesn't show up in the real dictionary go to dictionary.com.

Allowing offensive words (and I don't mean "dirty" words) incite hate, or worse. There are words that are racist, and Urban Dictionary seems to be ok with that. No website should allow dissemination of hate.

Definitions for Israel & Israeled are antisemitic. Not funny as some reviewers have stated. Pathetic & juvenile definitions to cause more hatred.

Everything on here is racist, offensive, ignorant or just stupid. It's like reading the writing on the bathroom wall from a 50 year old living in their mom's basement. I feel dumber just having gone to the website.

Verified purchase

I bought a personalized mug for a Christmas gift, the quality of the printing is very very bad. I am really disappointed and I will never buy again from them. I even wrote to the customer service that never answered me! A shame!

This is not a dictionary at all. The entire English language can be defined in 2 million entries. There is ALOT less slang words. Peckham claims to have 7 million definitions. But they're not definitions at all, just stuff people have uploaded, completely unverified, sometimes just made up by the writer for the purpose of being uploaded to this site. No law court in it's right mind would use this stuff as a reference. Also, it doesn't even have the most current slang or definitions. The pandemic has been a banner event for neologisms and Urban Dictionary doesn't even have them. Unfortunately, your kids will be routed here from Google if they type in a slang word. Peckham's site will come up first, second or third in the ten I typed in. It's extremely misogynistic. Also, the site is racist as well, a Jewish organization has asked Peckham to remove Auschwitz definitions, a aborigine woman offensive characterizations of aborigines, I have asked him to remove extremely offensive degrading, misogynistic sex acts done to women like angry hitler and dirty sanchez, and he has ignored everyone. Because of it's association with the alt right extremist groups who commit mass murders, you will find weird definitions for things like a page long definition of feminist, which claims that they want to kill men and usurp mens rights, which espouses their doctrine for anti feminism. Finally, when I tried to leave a comment about Peckham's site after one of his interviews with a blogger my comment was deleted, and I has polite and argued with facts. He or the blogger suppress any comments that don't suit them. In addition, he is planning to add the feature that people will be able to upload videos acting out their definitions and call it Urban Dictionary TV. Given that so much of his content is misogynistic, your children may be subjected to some pretty graphic sexual images with women who are not consenting. Do not go here or let your children go here.

Tip for consumers:
Do not go here or let your kids go here. This site is racist, misogynistic and supports terrorism around the world and isn't even accurate. It's a definite miss.

The definition for BIPOC is
"BIPOC don't have to be nice to you when you're threatening their existence. Support and amplify BIPOC. "

So that's calm, mature, and not at all hysterical.

Right beneath it is the following "definition".

"FDT
$#*! Donald Trump
FDT he's the most ignorant racist person ever"

There was a time when Urban Dictionary was not only helpful, but a little funny, also.

It now reads like it's written by Rachael Maddow on crack

This website is strange, but not exactly in a good way. I know most defintions are meant to be jokes, but what's the point? A website with crude sexual defintions I never wanted to hear, especially made - up words that sound like Glenn Quagmire's fantasy. It's not informative, and whenever I come across this site it's pretty annoying. Very harmless, though very annoying.

Only visit this site to get a good laugh, since it's not an actual dictionary. The website itself looks very 2000's and cheap.

As an antisocial 18 year old bisexual, it always peaks my interest when I hear someone use slang such as "slayyy" or "ayo" to where I actually want to look up what said phrase means. That's what the urban dictionary is supposed to be for, right? Well, if you're looking for legitimate definitons then, uhh, it may take you a while to find a definition that satisfies you. A dictionary that was originally meant as a source for finding the meaning of popular social media slang has turned into a horror fest of racism towards black people, asian people, hispanic people, indian people, etc., white men trying their hardest to make it seem like they're an oppressed minority, homo/transphobia and of course the good-ol bi pan and omnisexual erasure, making fun of disabled people, and (this one's probably the most abundant of all) the sexism. Search up "white girl" and I DARE you to count how many "definitions" are just people $#*!ing about "hurr durr starbucks and ugg boots hurr durr they're so basic" without getting bored halfway. Those definitions are not only cringeworthy to read, but also very hypocritical considering white boys are depicted to be like some oppressed group on there.

Honestly, if you want to figure out the meaning to certain slang, just pay close attention to the context in which it's normally used. I figured out "slay" was basically another way of calling a man or woman "cute" or "pretty" after seeing it used alot. Trust me, figuring out the meaning yourself is way more worth it than using the horror show of a website called Urban Dictionary.

Tip for consumers:
Just... don't use it. Please. What i'm telling you will be VERY beneficial to your mental health. Trust me.

Rather informative at times to find out the meanings of words I sometimes bump into. However I`ve seen some of those which have slightly other meanings - would be great if it had some function of editing or smtn like that.

I can't believe what urban dictionary has become these days. Basically everyone who uses it tries to incorporate an excessive use of bad/inappropriate language. If I were a user of urban dictionary (thank goodness I'm not), I would tell other users to delete their accounts if they wanted $5 (I wouldn't give them the money <w>).

Urban Dictionary gives racist definitions of Arabs, blacks, and Hispanics. Urban dictionary has VERY opinionated definitions. If I could, I would give this zero stars!

Urban Dictionary started out as a proposed reference for slang, regional vernacular and colloquialism.

It quickly digressed and devolved into a banal collection of adolescent portmanteau and flippant one liners mostly focused on explicit sexual description and racism. Somewhat analogous to 4-chan and 8-chan but limited to non-existent words which are mostly stream of consciousness portmanteau conjured by the imaginations of adolescents or individuals with a juvenile mindset.

Most of the entries do not constitute slang or regional forms of expression. They are simply words made up by adolescent minded individuals whose obvious intent is being offensive, snarky, cheeky or cute.

By all appearances, most Urban Dictionary contributors and peer reviewers know nothing of linguistics nor regional slang and colloquialism.

Urban dictionary harms people of African Americans, Celebrities, supports sexism, or valuing men over women.

This website used to be really great, but it is getting bogged down with too many user postings and too many "definitions" for words/phrases that are unknown outside of someone's neighborhood or close friends.

Vile racist entries are accepted and published. No system to leave detailed feedback. It should be shut down as promoting hatred. A site to avoid.

Clearly, a typical UrbanDictionary boardroom meeting must reek of pretentious tats, excessive cursing, and skateboard epoxies -- pew! I would use this site sparingly, maybe for a slang synonym (at most). And even there, it's so childish and subjective.

I'd opt for sites like slangsite.com, peevish.co.uk/slang, Thesaurus.com, rhymezone.com, sentencedict.com, and etymonline.com for a more mature and professional inquiry.
If you're serious about your future, and not just looking to stretch your adolescence with delusional comradery, then avoid Urbandictionary all together.

This is the most idiotic website there ever was. It is very racist and has a constantly uses the n word and the f word. This is the most God dammed website ever. I would rather die than look at this website. Earth will go down to hell because of this website. Curse the creators and people who have edited this damming website. Not even every cuss word in the world would ever suit this website. If I could I would slaughter the person who created this website. I would sue this website for eternity if I could. I would waste my entire life to erase this website from the face of earth if it took that long. I will never stop cussing on this damming website. This piece of bull $#*! is not appropriate for 50 year olds and people in elementary school view this $#*!. I hope all the people who ever created this website have a harsh and painful death. I was speech less when my 12 year old friends showed this to me. The person who created this bull $#*! is worse than the worst person ever.

A single fetid mind can log on to Urban Dictionary, make up a "definition" that absolutely no one uses, and UD and search engines such as Google will give it weight it doesn't deserve. Many perfectly fine terms and phrases are tainted because some vulgar kid got to them first. As a writer, countless times you can invent a new term for something, Google it just to be sure the name's not taken by something real, and find that the top results are vulgar garbage with one or two upvotes (and thus not worthy of being remotely close to the top results). This is partially the search engine's fault but UD is also to blame.

Get everything wrong. So many examples! For instance saying 'cream crackered is wasted on drink/drugs. 'Cream crackered' is 'knackered' or tired. So wrong. About as urban and hip as a portacabin on Mars. Rubbish
