Urban Dictionary Sucks. 2006-06-29 15:59:28


Urban Dictionary is the worst website ever. Sure, I guess everyone wants to believe that it's a database of slang terms and internet jargon and a useful resource. But most of it is actually just a bunch of mini-rants written by 13-year-old nerds who like to whine about shit.

It's bad enough that people misspell words in their definitions, or define words incorrectly. It's bad enough that there are dozens of definitions for each word.

Seriously, there are 20 definitions for Newgrounds despite the fact that everyone already knows what Newgrounds is, because 20 different nerds felt like expressing their opinion on the website. There are 281 definitions for Fuck, either because everyone who submits one thinks they can do a better job at defining it than the other guys even though they can't fucking spell, or because the people who submit these definitions don't even bother to check how many hundreds of definitions there already are and don't realize that nobody will ever even read what they fucking wrote.

Like I said, it's bad enough that there are dozens (even hundreds) of definitions for each word, as if anyone actually cares that much. But most of these "definitions" aren't even definitions. Just for your reference, here is the most popular Urban Dictionary definition for Newgrounds: "A kick ass web site with flash animations, games, movies, parodies, celeberty deaths, striper sims, stick figure combat, and more." Too bad this idiot can't spell "celebrity" or "stripper." He also thinks that stick figures are cool, because he's a loser. Nice attempt at advertising your favorite website in a dictionary, though, asshole.

Other people go on to write full reviews of Newgrounds as their "definitions." Take a look at this: "A nice site with plenty of good flash movies on there (Sprite flashes are my favorite) however, there are tons and tons of freaking porn ads on there that takes away a lot of my respect for the site, not to mention they allow a LOT of dirty flash movies to be on there, which is a minus in my book." Wow, we asked for a definition, not what you like or dislike about the website, jerkoff. Go cut yourself. But he doesn't stop there. In the space designed for examples and word-usage, he just continues his meaningless tirade. "One of my main problems with NG, is that there are too MANY biased immature users..." blah blah blah. The funniest part is that, except for the abbreviation "NG," he didn't even use the word "Newgrounds" in the usage example at all. What a fucking idiot.

Here's something else that pissed me off.
Newb: "A term used mostly in FPS that refers to a person using grenades, or explosives to kill."

Haha. Wrong.

And this definition for o rly owl:
"o rly owl is the internet meme/phenomenam that RULZ, it owns!"
What a fucking nerd.

Also, you'd think that people who try to use words like "phenomenon" would make sure they have the spelling correct first.

And the second definition for anime:
"Anime means "animation" in Japanese..."

False. Sure, that isn't all he wrote, but the first sentence was wrong, so I stopped reading.

Here's another funny "anime" definition:
"Porn for kids. Some sick adults like it too."

I find it amusing that the site administrators don't just delete definitions like this. It's pretty obvious that this definition is entirely incorrect. Why keep it? Oh yeah, because Urban Dictionary sucks.

But I do agree with most of your... opinion.

Hm, I don't go there often, but if it's as you say it could use some basic monitoring. +100 definitions of anything isn't helping anybody.

Response to Urban Dictionary Sucks. 2006-06-29 16:31:10


It's almost like they need some sort of system by which users can judge how good a definition is. Then good definitions will appear further up on any huge list of definitions, and bad ones will be at the bottom and no one will be swamped by any huge lists of really horrible definitions when they just want to know what the lastest word the punk kids WHO WILL NOT GET OFF MY DAMN LAWN are using.

I think they should use a thumb up/thumb down system for this, because that's easy to use and I think everyone can understand it.

actually-ur wrong-first off people mispell words becuz its easier to type it-such as becuz-and UrbanDictionary is a good site for people who don't kno many words-not to be racist-but white people in general

Response to Urban Dictionary Sucks. 2006-06-29 16:34:37


I think it's kinda useful- I found out what NEDM meant from Urban Dictionary- you can't expect every definition to be accurate or helpful, but you can get an idea of what people think. It can be funny just bringing up random words, or finding out what people have said about stuff...

Urban Dictionary isn't too bad for some words but they really do need a way of monitoring what is written and delete the bad definitions.

Sarcasm? How dare you.

(Okay, so you're right... the voting system does keep the crappy definitions at the bottom. But it doesn't help when the most popular definitions suck too.)

First of all, you're wrong. People misspell words because they're stupid. If you actually think that reaching for the "Z" key with your left pinky finger is easier than typing the last few letters of "because," you obviously don't know how to type. If people actually learned how to type with all of their fingers, they wouldn't need to rely on shortcuts like "ur" and "becuz" to get their point across.

Second of all, when I mentioned misspelled words in this thread's original post, I wasn't referring to shortcuts and abbreviations. I was writing about people who misspell words like "celebrity" and "stripper" and "phenomenon," asshole. Did you even read my post? Spelling "phenomenon" as "phenomenam" like that one idiot did does not make it easier to type. And neither does spelling "cool" as "kewl," or "hacker" as "h@xx0rZ." People misspell words because they're stupid.

Third of all -- "not to be racist?" Sorry, moron, but you are racist. Don't pretend you don't mean to be racist right before you make a blatantly bigoted comment, asshole. You're saying that "white people in general" don't know what slang terms mean. If that's not racist, I don't know what is.

Oh, wait, I forgot... it's only racist if it's said about black people. Sorry, it slipped my mind. Because, you know, saying racist things about white people is totally okay. NOT.

How cute. You tried to submit an offensive definition for my screen name. Too bad it won't get published, and if it does, I can get it removed.
