UrbanDictionaryReviews 62

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.

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.

1/3/2017 Update:

They clearly don't care about the blatant exploits on their site. I know removing another star from the review won't do anything but I'd advise people to ignore this site full of tryhard script kiddies and 4chan $#*!s.

I emailed them regarding my issue and never heard back.

This means:

A) They know about this exploit (downvote scripts), could fix it, but don't care.
B) They don't know how to fix it.
C) They've tried to fix it in the past, and have given up.

In any case, this site sucks.

9/6/2016 Original:
I have been using Urbandictionary since 2003 and have added over 100 definitions. They have increased their standards in the past 5-10 years but a lot of the top definitions are relics from the past that wouldn't be accepted by the editors today.

The worst part about UD is the awful voting system. It is very easy for dedicated jerks to exploit it and downvote people. I was a victim of this over the past few days. I used to have several definitions with many more upvotes than downvotes, but due to the dedication of some script kiddie brigade, all of my definitions have more downvotes than upvotes. I suspect they don't care but I filed a report with their help section and if they respond to me and fix this issue I might give them another star.

TLDR: Do not trust the votes on here.

Hi my name is Michele Quow yeah that's right Quow and I'm totally disgusted that urban dictionary did not review the word Quow before allowing Mr Doogle Mc Johnson in October 2008 to term entire families of Quows as and I quote " A curse word e. G $#*! $#*! and tits
I mean what the hell?
You guys suck and I'm not done cause I'm gonna report it

If you are looking for a word or catch phrase meaning that cannot be found in Webster's or in your handy Encyclopedia, I would suggest that you make use of this site called as online urban dictionary. When we come across a "gangsta" language, we cannot help but be confused with what the other is writing and talking about.
With the openness of online communication nowadays and the steady influence of social networking, the use of slang terms easily spread around making it sometimes hard to comprehend what the other person is talking about.
I have seen many bloggers and friends routinely including these slang terms, and I think it is best to know what they mean so I won't get lost in the process. With the online urban dictionary and its newly developed app on your mobile gadget, I can easily find the answers I am looking for without any problem.
