«Word» is the shortened form of the phrase: «my word is my bond» which was originated by inmates in U.S. prisons. The longer phrase was shortened to «word is bond» before becoming «word,» which is most commonly used. It basically means «truth.» Or «to speak the truth.»
«Yo, I fucked twelve bitches last night.»
«Word?» («You speak the truth?»)
«Word.» («I speak the truth.»)

The Urban Dictionary is a crowdsourced website that records new words and their meanings. It began life in 1999 as a parody of Dictionary.com but has since become an important resource on the Web. … Part of Urban Dictionary’s appeal is its informal approach, which allows both definitions and descriptions of words.

Urban Dictionary is a crowdsourced English-language online dictionary for slang words and phrases. The website was founded in 1999 by Aaron Peckham. Originally, Urban Dictionary was intended as a dictionary of slang or cultural words and phrases, not typically found in standard English dictionaries, but it is now used to define any word, event, or phrase (including sexually explicit content). Words or phrases on Urban Dictionary may have multiple definitions, usage examples, and tags. As of 2014, the dictionary contains over seven million definitions, while around 2,000 new entries were being added daily.
History
The site was founded in 1999 by Aaron Peckham while he was a freshman computer science major at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. He launched the site to compare urban slang used by university students in different parts of California. He had previously created a spoof version of the Ask Jeeves web search engine while studying at Cal Poly but closed the website after he received an infringement letter.[1] He created Urban Dictionary initially as a parody of actual dictionaries, which he thought tended to be «stuffy» and «take themselves too seriously».
For the first five years, the site generated revenue but did not make a profit. In 2003, the website gained wider attention after a news article revealed that a judge of the High Court of Justice in the United Kingdom had used Urban Dictionary to assist interpreting slang lyrics in a case involving two rappers.[2][3]
By 2009, the site had listed around 4 million entries and received about 2,000 new submissions per day.[4] In April 2009, the site registered 15 million unique visitors, while 80 percent of its monthly users were younger than 25. In July 2009, Peckham explained to The New York Times that Urban Dictionary is not Wikipedia,[5] because it doesn’t attempt neutrality: «Every single word on here [Urban Dictionary] is written by someone with a point of view, with a personal experience of the word in the entry.»[6]
The website was later referenced in a 2011 District Court complaint by Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) agents to document the meaning of the vulgarism «murk», as used in a criminal threat.[7]
Over a 30-day period in March and April 2011, 67,000 people wrote 76,000 new definitions for Urban Dictionary, while 3,500 volunteer editors were registered. In an April 2011 article in The Guardian titled «In praise of urban dictionaries», Peckham revealed an overview of 10 rules that he had devised for the site’s content: «Publish celebrity names, but reject ‘real life’ names. Reject nonsense, inside jokes or anything submitted in capital letters. Racial and sexual slurs are allowed, racist and sexist entries are not.»[8]
At the start of 2014, 32-year-old Peckham resided in San Francisco, U.S, and, while he did not reveal exact figures, he informed the media that the site was «stable and growing», and generated enough profit for both him and the site’s maintenance. Peckham continued as the site’s sole employee and maintained that he was not interested in venture funding or an initial public offering (IPO): «It is weird to be in Silicon Valley and want to be independent and not be on track to IPO or want an acquisition … But I think something special would be sacrificed if that were to happen.»[1]
As of January 5, 2014, 50% of the site’s traffic was mobile and the iPhone app had been downloaded nearly three million times.[9] Although English entries were by far the most common prior to the multilingual transition, some words from languages that have been incorporated or assimilated into English-speaking societies were published, including those from Swahili, Arabic, and the Fula languages.[10]
Content
In the context of Urban Dictionary, «definitions» include not only literal definitions, but also descriptions. As such, «to define» a word or phrase on Urban Dictionary does not necessarily entail providing a strict definition; merely a description of some aspect of the word or phrase could suffice for inclusion in the dictionary.
Originally, Urban Dictionary was intended as a dictionary of slang, or cultural words or phrases, not typically found in standard dictionaries, but it is now used to define any word or phrase. Words or phrases on Urban Dictionary may have multiple definitions, usage examples, and tags.
Visitors to Urban Dictionary may submit definitions without registering, but they must provide a valid email address.
Quality control
By default, each definition is accepted or rejected based on the number of «Publish» or «Don’t Publish» votes it receives from volunteer editors. The editors are not bound by any criteria for the approval or rejection of definitions. Editors previously needed a valid email address, but it is no longer required, as three options are provided for new words: «Add It!,» «Keep Out!,» and «I Can’t Decide.» However, a Facebook or Gmail account is required to post a new definition.[11] Editors are not allowed to edit entries for spelling, wording or punctuation.
Issues with content
Urban Dictionary has been criticized for hosting and failing to remove offensive submissions, including ones containing racist and sexist content.[12] For example, the abundance of racist definitions of «aboriginal» prompted a petition calling for their removal on Change.org which received over 7,000 signatures.[13]
Urban Dictionary‘s guidelines list «hate speech, bullying, or any other statements meant to discriminate or incite violence against others» as a reportable offense.[14]
Usage
At the start of 2014, the dictionary had over seven million definitions, while 2,000 new entries were being added daily.[1]
In November 2014, the Advertise page of the website stated that, on a monthly basis, Urban Dictionary averages 72 million impressions and 18 million unique readers. According to Peckham in January 2014, just under 40% of the site’s traffic is international, while the site’s audience was predominantly male and aged between 15 and 24.[1][9]
By July 2020, the dictionary had over 12 million definitions.[15]
Application
Legal cases
As of 2013, Urban Dictionary has been used in several court cases to define slang terms not found in standard dictionaries. For example, the slang term «jack» was used to define the name the defendant used for his team, «the jack boys.»[16] Urban Dictionary was also used in a District Court complaint where a man posted a threat on a gun exchange Facebook page to «murk that cocksucker».[7][16] The crowd-sourced dictionary was also used in a sexual harassment court case in Tennessee to define the phrase «to nut» as «to ejaculate».[16]
Other
In the United States, some state Departments of Motor Vehicles refer to Urban Dictionary in determining if certain license plates are appropriate or not. For example, a man in Las Vegas was allowed to keep «HOE» as his license plate after managing to convince the state, with the use of Urban Dictionary, that it meant «TAHOE», as in the vehicle made by Chevrolet, since that was already taken.[8]
IBM had programmed Watson to use Urban Dictionary. After having all the words and definitions incorporated into Watson, it began responding to researchers’ questions with profanity, leading the programmers to remove it from its memory and adding an additional filter to prevent it from swearing in the future.[17]
In August 2019, the Malacañang Palace reacted to definitions of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s last name on the site; defining ‘duterte’ as «deceptive, sly, fake» and, «that leftover shit that you wipe off your anus after pooping.» Presidential spokesperson Salvador Panelo said the definitions of Duterte are «exact opposites» of the traits of President Duterte, and that Duterte to them means «honest, incorruptible, politically-willed person, courageous, selfless, honest, transparent and all good things… and other synonymous terms.» The spokesperson also admitted he had never heard of the site before, and believed that anti-Duterte groups were behind the definitions.[18]
Linguists continue to use Urban Dictionary for charting the development of slang terms, particularly those from the early 2000s before the advent of many social media platforms.[19]

Users are encouraged to submit new words and definitions covering every aspect of their daily lives. Submissions are regulated by volunteer editors and rated by other users. Urban Dictionary’s slogan is «Define Your World».
History
The dictionary was founded by Aaron Peckham while he was an undergraduate at Cal Poly. The site went online in 1999. [cite book |author=Aaron Peckham |title=Urban Dictionary: Fularious Street Slang Defined |publisher=Andrews McMeel Publishing |year=2005 |isbn=0-7407-514-33]
Urban Dictionary displays on its front page a running total of definitions submitted. As of August 2008, the total stands at over 3,221,469 definitions since 1999.
Content
Anonymous users can contribute to Urban Dictionary by submitting new definitions and voting on existing definitions. Each term can have more than one definition and each definition can be voted «up» or «down» independently. According to the site’s Terms of Service, anyone submitting words or definitions agrees that Urban Dictionary can do whatever it wants with them. Because of this, users are not permitted to submit copyrighted material. [http://www.urbandictionary.com/tos.php Urban Dictionary: Terms of Service] ]
Unlike a traditional dictionary, the content presented on Urban Dictionary is often coarse, profane or offensive, and submissions are not checked for accuracy.
Quality control
Any user can participate in Urban Dictionary’s quality control system by signing up as a volunteer editor. Editors are encouraged to publish entries on any word from daily life, including words not widely considered slang, on the grounds that language is rapidly evolving and words often acquire new meanings in common use. Terms considered to be racist, homonegative or sexist slurs are acceptable as long as their definitions only document the use of such slurs and are not themselves abusive. Definitions are recommended for rejection if they include personal references to non-celebrities, jokes understood only by a small social group, nonsense, advertisements, or descriptions of sexual violence.
Publication
In October 2005 a selection of definitions from Urban Dictionary was published in book form. A second book was made available for pre-order in October 2007.

Urban Dictionary — словарь правильного английского языка. Без использования этого словаря гарантированно невозможно понять типичного среднего американца.
Для тех, кто только изучает английский, Urban Dictionary — лучший способ сделать свою речь более красочной и драматичной, а также получить незабываемое удовольствие от неожиданных последствий, которые эта речь произвела. Если вы не используете в своём разговоре слова из Urban Dictionary, ваша речь выглядит как унылая вырезка из Большой советской энциклопедии.
В Urban Dictionary для каждого слова имеется не просто скучное определение, но и подробная инструкция с примерами, как этим словом можно ругаться и оскорблять других людей. После долгого курения этого словаря начинаешь понимать, что красиво нецензурно ругаться по-английски можно абсолютно любыми словами.
На самом деле[править]
Википедия говорит, что Urban Dictionary — это всемирный онлайн-словарь сленга и жаргонных слов. Но на самом деле это не совсем так. Смутные сомнения начинают закрадываться, когда мы узнаём, что сайт содержит более 5 миллионов слов и определений. Это при том, что в самом большом словаре английского языка, Oxford English Dictionary, 291 500 записей. А во всём английском — не более 400 000. Получается, что английский сленг на целый порядок шире самого языка.
Сайт существует с 1999 года. Он был когда-то создан неким Aaron Peckham’ом как пародия на онлайн-словарь dictionary.com. Исключительно для лулзов. Сначала он наполнялся самим создателем интернетов и его друзьями, а простые юзеры могли только читать их творчество. Вскоре возможность безудержно постить стала доступна и для простых смертных. Urban Dictionary стал новаторским и весьма полезным
вебдванольным проектом. Однако (к сожалению) со временем владельцы сайта начали понимать, что их прибыль напрямую зависит от количества постов в единицу времени. И средства для постинга начали упрощаться. А вместе с ними начала упрощаться и целевая аудитория. За десять лет Urban Dictionary успел обрасти сервисами сверхскоростного добавления контента, интеграцией со всевозможными социальными сетями, твиттером, ю-тьюбом и пр. Также появилось API для различных SMS-гейтвеев, чтобы можно было вносить свой вклад хоть через СМС. Сейчас типичный editor может невозбранно лить свой поток сознания со скоростью 10 определений в минуту из любого места, где ему внезапно стало нечего делать.
Контент[править]

| Do It Yourself |
Таня не отличается излишней адекватностью
На сайте нет модерации. Да, совсем-совсем нет. Поэтому его уже давно заселили дебилы. Это именно те люди, которые превращают в сраное говно всё, к чему прикасаются. Если 7-8 лет назад это был годный словарь американского сленга, то сейчас urban dictionary — словарь английского языка для имбецилов, написанный такими же имбецилами. Исходя из этого стоит помнить, что перед тем как пытаться понять описываемый сленг, для начала нужно понять сленг.
Сам язык urban dictionary соответствует контингенту авторов: это именно тот язык, которым общаются по асечке едва научившиеся говорить тринадцатилетние американские дети.
Для авторов urban dictionary стало доброй традицией придумывать новый неожиданный смысл для, казалось бы, давно известных слов и выражений. Авторам это кажется смешным и оригинальным. Вследствие ограниченности кругозора большинства этих авторов подобное творчество выглядит как былинная хуита. Даже знатоки английского сленга при виде этого контента фалломорфируют и умирают от когнитивного диссонанса. Вот типичный пример определения для выражения:
1. Going to Narnia
Buy Going to Narnia mugs, tshirts and magnets
When a female’s breasts are so large that you could stick your head in between them and have your whole
head disappear. When your head disappears, it ends up in Narnia.
«Whoa that girl could take me to Narnia.»
«I’m going to get to go to Narnia tonight.»
«I’m going to Narnia later today.»
2. Going to Narnia
Buy Going to Narnia mugs, tshirts and magnets
Having sex with a whore.
— Dude, I’m going to Narnia
— What the fuck man, you’re gonna screw that chick?
— I went to Narnia the other night.
— Did you see the creatures in the forest?
Если бы Urban Dictionary был на русском, это выглядело бы примерно так:
1. Купить колбасу
Купи кружку, футболку или магнитик с купить колбасу
Взять в рот толстый волосатый член у негра.
«Эй ты, шлюха, иди купи колбасу»
«Я сосу-сосу-сосу эту эту колбасу»
2. Купить колбасу
Купи кружку, футболку или магнитик с купить колбасу
Подохнуть нафик. Я не знаю, откуда это… хммм… но слышала, как тётя Энни вчера за ужином сказала…
«Если вы не перестанете кормить меня этим дерьмом, я куплю колбасу»
Вот из такого контента словарь состоит на 80%. А теперь представьте, что Urban Dictionary является вроде как авторитетным изданием в своей области. То есть к нему можно обращаться, если значение какого-нибудь слова вам неизвестно, точно так же, как и к какому-нибудь профессиональному словарю. Что повсеместно и происходит. Индусы и китайцы, имея небогатый словарный запас в английском, активно используют этот ресурс при общении и в электронной переписке. Из-за этого общение с ними становится полным лулзов и неожиданных поворотов. Не дай б-г вы употребите какое-нибудь выражение, смысл которого индусу с первого раза не ясен. Угадайте, куда он полезет его искать? И как вы думаете, что он там найдёт? (см. выше)
К счастью, отсутствие модерации в некотором роде компенсируется наличием пользовательских оценок (thumbs up/down), поэтому, как правило, самые абсурдные, выдуманные и неверные определения через некоторое время получают соответствующее количество «пальцев вниз», и, судя по соотношению «вверх/вниз», можно делать логичные выводы о тех или иных определениях.
