If you just keep hitting “random definitions” you get such an insane spread of internet and non-internet culture. I didn’t realise UD was almost 20 years old.

One definition will be some scene kid trying to be random xD in 2007, another will be a weird sex act invented by someone trying to be funny in 2010.

There’s references to extremely online shit, extremely niche subculture shit, or just general things you’d hear in the wider discourse. There’s A LOT of people putting up extremely specific things about a person they’re into or the place they live as if they’re common parlance but they are clearly used exclusively by that one person.

I had no idea urban dictionary captured such a large time range and such a wide cross section of society. Truly fascinating. Although it is definitely mostly 12 year olds trying to be funny - but it’s interesting to compare 12 year old’s sense of humour over the last few decades I guess.

    It took several seconds before I found this person using slurs. They also have a definition of McDonald's as a triumph of capitalism. All of this was written in like 2005 too, I sometimes forget that hogs haven't changed at all.

      So much juice that I want to duct tape them to a bird feeder and supply hummingbirds with all the nectar they could eat.
