About UrbanDictionary

Urban Dictionary is a website of user-submitted definitions of slang and other informal terms. Each entry gives a definition, an example sentence, and the author's name and submission date. The site's directory listing also notes a daily featured entry.

Each term has share and flag buttons, and a Word of the Day is published daily. An email option delivers the Word of the Day to subscribers. The site also sells word-themed merchandise. Because entries are user-submitted, the definitions reflect what users have written. Pricing is not stated.
