POOR
April 22, 2018

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

It sucks
April 29, 2020

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!

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.

90% foolishness

It's annoying how many fake definitions there are on this site. So many fake definitions made by people with too much time on their hands. Please just stay away

Offensive

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

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.

Info
June 3, 2017

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 agree with most of the reviews: Urban Dictionary is a really fun and interesting site. And especially useful when looking for a name for your brand new creation (your site, business, program or app). Doesn't hurt to search here after googling the term, just to avoid surprises.

It's a pretty fun site! Can easily burn an hour on there, just don't expect to find any serious/factual content. As long as you let go of that, have fun looking up urban definitions as well as writing up your own. P.S. Don't forget to look up your own name... its a must!

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.

I think I can be called an old timer (not really but you know what I mean) on the internet nowadays. Helps me get in touch with what younger people mean and keeps me up to date with the internet lingo...

This is another really fun site. If you don't understand a particular slang saying or word or you just wanna learn some fun new terms, this is the site to go to. It's really pretty humorous as well as informative.

Someone told me one day that someone "fartled" them. I said "what?" They told me to look the word up on urban dictionary and I did and it gave me quite a chuckle, lol. It's obviously a slang, made up term, lol. I'll let you look this one up on your own, lol.

So, next time one of your teenagers seem to be speaking in a foreign language, just check the urban dictionary to see if you can decipher it. ;)

This website is great for looking up words that traditional dictionaries do not contain. This is a site I visit frequently to look up some of texting slang (I'm a teen and I don't know what half of the words mean) and other non-traditional words. This site is somewhat user managed. This means that users like you and I add the words and definitions. This also means that some definitions may not be accurate, but user can also rate definitions which helps push incorrect meanings out of the way. Higher rated definitions are then pushed to the top of the page. This website also earns the rating of NSFW (Not Safe For Work) due to potentially vulgar (especially sexual) language.

Got to credit LilRebel for inspiring me to review this, but man I love Urban Dictionary. When I was 12 I would have loved nothing more than looking up dirty slang words to impress my friends. Who I am kidding, I still do, which is why I sign up for the Urban Dictionary word of the day. So the next time your a girl wants to "DTR" you'll be prepared http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=DTR&defid=*******

This site should be a site that parents and those that work with teenagers should be using often. They should bookmark it. They can put in a phrase they've heard their children say and see what it is that they are exactly stating. There really should no longer be an unhip adult. Well they may not be cool, but they'll be hip enough to understand what they youngins are stating.

As the other review stated this site is hilarious. You can go to random word and laugh. This is the addicting site for readers of information as is YouTube for those that like movies and videos. It's fun and you can even join and pick definitions that should be on the site or not be on the site. You can help the site. That is always awesome. You can also vote on what are the better definition for that word.

The front page is great because it has words of the day listed there. It's another great site that has a great long history of existence ahead of it.

Totally LOVE the f*ck outta this site (look that one up on the site while you're at it!)! It's awesome for many reasons, but mostly because it is made by entirely by its users! It has over 6 million definitions of "sayings", "slang", "phrases", "quotes", and everything in between.

You can browse "definitions" by clicking the random button, or search through each letter, or find a specific word/definition/phrase/etc by entering it in the search bar. If it doesn't have that EXACT one (if you were off by one word or something), it will show you matches that are similar to the one you entered. Also, you can choose to vote them up or down.

There's so much to do on here. There's a word of the day, and you can look through the "dictionary" or "thesaurus" or "names" (where you can look up your name and see what previous users have to say about it in their "name meanings").

Everything on here is completely hilarious. I could spend hours on here.

They even have a store where you can have the definition of the day (or any definition on the site) printed on a shirt, coffee mug, mouse pad, and even a temporary tattoo!

The "Edit" option shows you pending words/definitions and YOU vote whether it should be published on the site or not.

I cannot say enough about this site. Just love it.

This is another fun site to visit if you are bored. A lot of it is kind of inappropriate, so it's not that type of site for a five year old lol. But its great for laughs anyways. :)

Is a really great website to use if you don't understand a word that someone has said, especially the new words for sex terms. It is pretty easy to use and is fast.
