Urban Dictionary
Urban Dictionary is a Web-based dictionary of slang words and phrases, which contained over 10.5 million definitions in December, 2010;[citation needed] submissions are regulated by volunteer editors and rated by site visitors. Time's Anita Hamilton placed Urban Dictionary on her 50 best websites of 2008 list.[2][3]
History
The site was founded in 1998 by Aaron Peckham while he was a freshman computer science major at California Polytechnic State University. One of the first definitions on the site was "the man", referring to "the faces of the establishment put in place to 'bring us down.'”[4]
Content
The definitions on Urban Dictionary are meant to be those of slang or subculture words, phrases, and phenomena not found in standard dictionaries. Most words have multiple definitions, usage examples, and tags.
Visitors to Urban Dictionary may submit definitions without registering, but they must provide a valid e-mail address to facilitate the submission process. Entries become the property of Urban Dictionary.[5] Before they are included in the dictionary, all new definitions must be approved by editors.
Editors are given this set of guidelines to use when approving or rejecting definitions[6]:
- Publish celebrity names but reject friends' names. Definitions of first names are acceptable. Names of bands and schools should be published only if they are popular.
- Publish racial and sexual slurs but reject racist and sexist entries. Entries can document discrimination and slurs but not endorse it.
- Publish opinions. Opinions are useful to readers unfamiliar with a topic and should not be rejected because of disagreement or offense, or inaccuracy.
- Publish place names, nicknames and area codes of geographic entities.
- Publish nonslang words. Swearing, mis-spelling, or presence of words in an ordinary dictionary are not reasons for rejection and should be ignored.
- Publish jokes and sarcasm, but reject inside jokes that only the author's friends would understand.
- Reject sexual violence and made-up violent sexual acts.
- Reject nonsense. Be consistent on duplicates, reject nonsensical, circular, unspecific entries or those submitted in all capital letters. Non-English words and examples are acceptable, but entries with non-English definitions should be rejected.
- Reject ads for web sites, and definitions written as advertising.
- Publish if the definition appears to be plausible.
