Urban Dictionary is a crowdsourced online dictionary founded in 1999 by Aaron Peckham for slang words and phrases, now used to define any word or phrase.
The website receives around 2,000 new submissions daily and contains over 7 million definitions as of 2014.
Urban Dictionary has been used in legal cases, including a UK High Court case involving rappers and a US District Court complaint for defining the term "murk."
The site has been criticised for hosting offensive submissions, including racist and sexist content.
As of 2014, the site had 15 million unique visitors, with 80% of users younger than 25.
The site's founder, Aaron Peckham, continues to maintain the site independently and has not sought venture funding or an IPO.
