UrbanDictionary

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
