Urban Dictionary is a crowdsourced online dictionary for slang words and phrases, operating under the motto "Define Your World." [1] The website was founded in 1999 by Aaron Peckham. Originally, Urban Dictionary was intended as a dictionary of slang or cultural words and phrases , not typically found in standard dictionaries, but it is now used to define any word, event, or phrase (including sexually explicit content). Words or phrases on Urban Dictionary may have multiple definitions, usage examples, and tags . As of 2014, the dictionary had over seven million definitions, while around 2,000 new entries were being added daily.
The site was founded in 1999 by Aaron Peckham while he was a freshman computer science major at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo . He launched the site to compare urban slang used by university students in different parts of California. He had previously created a spoof version of the Ask Jeeves web search engine while studying at Cal Poly but closed the website after he received an infringement letter . [2] He created Urban Dictionary initially as a parody of actual dictionaries, which he thought tended to be "stuffy" and "take themselves too seriously".
For the first five years, the site generated revenue but did not make a profit. In 2003, the website gained wider attention after a news article revealed that a judge of the High Court of Justice in the United Kingdom had used Urban Dictionary to assist interpreting slang lyrics in a case involving two rappers . [3] [4]
By 2009, the site had listed around 4 million entries and received about 2,000 new submissions per day. [5] In April 2009, the site registered 15 million unique visitors, while 80 percent of its monthly users were younger than 25. In July 2009, Peckham explained to The New York Times that Urban Dictionary is not Wikipedia , [6] because it doesn't attempt neutrality: "Every single word on here [ Urban Dictionary ] is written by someone with a point of view, with a personal experience of the word in the entry." [7]
The website was later referenced in a 2011 District Court complaint by Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) agents to document the meaning of the vulgarism "murk", as used in a criminal threat. [8]
Over a 30-day period in March and April 2011, 67,000 people wrote 76,000 new definitions for Urban Dictionary , while 3,500 volunteer editors were registered. In an April 2011 article in The Guardian titled "In praise of urban dictionaries", Peckham revealed an overview of 10 rules that he had devised for the site's content: "Publish celebrity names, but reject 'real life' names. Reject nonsense, inside jokes or anything submitted in capital letters. Racial and sexual slurs are allowed, racist and sexist entries are not." [9]
At the start of 2014, 32-year-old Peckham resided in San Francisco, U.S, and, while he did not reveal exact figures, he informed the media that the site was "stable and growing", and generated enough profit for both him and the site's maintenance. Peckham continued as the site's sole employee and maintained that he was not interested in venture funding or an initial public offering (IPO) : "It is weird to be in Silicon Valley and want to be independent and not be on track to IPO or want an acquisition ... But I think something special would be sacrificed if that were to happen." The site's audience at this stage was predominantly male and aged between 15 and 24. [2]
As of January 5, 2014, 50% of the site's traffic was mobile and the iPhone app had been downloaded nearly three million times. [10] Although English entries were by far the most common prior to the multilingual transition, some words from languages that have been incorporated or assimilated into English-speaking societies were published, including those from Swahili , Arabic , and the Fula languages . [11]
In the context of Urban Dictionary , "definitions" include not only literal definitions, but also descriptions. As such, "to define" a word or phrase on Urban Dictionary does not necessarily entail providing a strict definition; merely a description of some aspect of the word or phrase could suffice for inclusion in the dictionary.
Originally, Urban Dictionary was intended as a dictionary of slang, or cultural words or phrases, not typically found in standard dictionaries, but it is now used to define any word or phrase. Words or phrases on Urban Dictionary may have multiple definitions, usage examples, and tags .
Visitors to Urban Dictionary may submit definitions without registering, but they must provide a valid email address.
By default, each definition is accepted or rejected based on the number of "Publish" or "Don't Publish" votes it receives from volunteer editors. The editors are not bound by any criteria for the approval or rejection of definitions. Editors previously needed a valid email address, but it is no longer required, as three options are provided for new words: "Add It!," "Keep Out!," and "I Can't Decide." However, a Facebook or Gmail account is required to post a new definition. [12] Editors are not allowed to edit entries for spelling, wording or punctuation.
Urban Dictionary has been criticized for hosting and failing to remove offensive submissions, including ones containing racist and sexist content. [13] For example, the abundance of racist definitions of " aboriginal " prompted a petition calling for their removal on Change.org which received over 7,000 signatures. [14]
Urban Dictionary ' s guidelines list "hate speech, bullying, or any other statements meant to discriminate or incite violence against others" as a reportable offense. [15]
At the start of 2014, the dictionary had over seven million definitions, while 2,000 new entries were being added daily. [2]
In November 2014, the Advertise page of the website stated that, on a monthly basis, Urban Dictionary averages 72 million impressions and 18 million unique readers. According to Peckham in January 2014, just under 40% of the site's traffic is international, while the site's audience was predominantly male and aged between 15 and 24. [2] [10]
By July 2020, the dictionary had over 12 million definitions. [16]
As of 2013, Urban Dictionary has been used in several court cases to define slang terms not found in standard dictionaries. For example, the slang term "jack" was used to define the name the defendant used for his team, "the jack boys." [17] Urban Dictionary was also used in a District Court complaint where a man posted a threat on a gun exchange Facebook page to "murk that cocksucker". [8] [17] The crowd-sourced dictionary was also used in a sexual harassment court case in Tennessee to define the phrase "to nut" as "to ejaculate ". [17]
In the United States, some state Departments of Motor Vehicles refer to Urban Dictionary in determining if certain license plates are appropriate or not. For example, a man in Las Vegas was allowed to keep "HOE" as his license plate after managing to convince the state, with the use of Urban Dictionary , that it meant "TAHOE", as in the vehicle made by Chevrolet , since that was already taken. [9]
IBM had programmed Watson to use Urban Dictionary . After having all the words and definitions incorporated into Watson, it began responding to researchers' questions with profanity, leading the programmers to remove it from its memory and adding an additional filter to prevent it from swearing in the future. [18]
In August 2019, The Malacañang Palace reacted to a definition on the site referring to Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte , defining him as "deceptive, sly, fake" and other words. Presidential spokesperson Salvador Panelo said the definitions of "duterte" are "exact opposites" of the traits of President Duterte, and that Duterte to them means "honest, incorruptible, politically-willed person, courageous, selfless, honest, transparent and all good things...and other synonymous terms." The spokesperson also admitted he had never heard of the site before, and believed that anti-Duterte groups were behind the definition. [19]
Linguists continue to use Urban Dictionary for charting the development of slang terms, particularly those from the early 2000s before the advent of many social media platforms. [20]
Urban Dictionary is made by a community of millions, including you. Anybody can post a definition, but in order to keep things fun for everyone, we ask that you follow a few ground rules:
Write for a large audience. When defining a word, make sure to provide enough context for other people to understand what it means and how it’s typically used. Need a little help? Look to our Word of the Day for some examples.
Be creative. Some of the best definitions on Urban Dictionary find humorous ways to poke fun at authority, or put a clever twist on current events. Some of them are just straight up weird. We’re okay with that.
Have fun. We are not a traditional dictionary. This is a place where language has a little more space to be explored and constructed freely, in the moment.
Don’t post personal information. That includes obvious things like last names and addresses, but we will also remove definitions containing first names or user handles if they can be used to identify and target specific individuals for harassment.
Don’t be an asshole. We are okay with people defining offensive words. After all, people use offensive words in the real world and a resource for understanding what those words mean can be valuable. However, we are not—and never will be—okay with people using a definition to harass, discriminate, and/or directly incite violence against others.
If you notice anything on Urban Dictionary that you believe falls outside of these guidelines, please flag it for review.

Urban Dictionary may have originally started as a joke, but the online authority of all things slang is now a legitimate source on what popular sayings mean — and a ton of the words published in their pages are commonly accepted vernacular.
As raunchy as it can be at times, Urban Dictionary has gone mainstream — I mean, it’s even used in some courtrooms to define culturally acceptable slang terms. Doesn’t get much more legit than that. Of course, being the crowdsourced slang resource that it is, none of the words were actually invented by Urban Dictionary. However, many (including some of the words below) have since been added to more traditional dictionaries — and others may have been in old-school dictionaries first, but the peeps at Urban Dictionary just defined them better.
In honor of our ever-changing English language , here are the big pop culture words we think everyone needs to know .
Warning: Some strong language ahead (NSFW)
1. A crapella — singing (badly) while listening to music through headphones
2. Ann Curry-ed — being fired unexpectedly and/or without cause
3. Askhole — an individual who asks ridiculous, obnoxious or irrelevant questions (this is often chronic behavior)
4. Awesome sauce — something that is more awesome than awesome (awesome topped with awesome sauce)
5. Baby bump — the protruding abdominal region of a woman when she starts to become noticeably pregnant (often creates speculation a woman is pregnant even when it’s the result of bloating or the way clothes fall)
6. Badassery — actions or behavior that are amazing or unbelievable; the act of being a badass
7. Beer me — please, get me a beer (can also be used figuratively to ask for anything to be passed or retrieved for the speaker)
8. Bitchy resting face — the state of a face while not emoting in which the individual looks hostile or judgmental
9. Bitcoin — electronic currency that can be transferred securely without the need of a third party (such as a bank or PayPal)
10. Blamestorming — usually in a business setting, the act of attempting to identify who was to blame for a failure or problem, rather than trying to brainstorm a solution
11. Boomerang child — a child who moves out to start his or her own life, then returns home to live (often as a result of the economy, but possibly due to irresponsibility of some kind)
12. Bromance — 1) as a noun or adjective, two heterosexual males with such a close relationship they appear to be romantically involved; 2) as a verb, the act of attempting to become closer to a fellow heterosexual male (usually through acts similar to romancing a woman, such as flattery, gifts and spending alone time)
13. Bropocalypse — a large gathering of adult males with the sole mission of getting drunk (such as at a fraternity party)
14. Bye Felicia — exclamation used when a person announces they are exiting, but other people in the area don’t care; adapted from 2005 film Friday starring Chris Tucker and Ice Cube
15. C-note — a $100 bill (where C stands for centum , the Latin word for 100)
16. Cock block — 1) referring to a slang term for male genitalia, the act of preventing a man from getting somewhere (getting to know, getting a date or having sexual relations) with a man or woman he is interested in; action may be committed by a male or female; 2) in traffic, to cut someone off
17. Cougar — an older woman who prefers the romantic company
