Unsurprisingly, they botch jobs, often failed to abide by the guidelines, and some of them even became petty tyrants on a power trip, who reject every new word definitions, legitimate or not, to sate their personal revenge on society for the fact that they are losers, basement trolls, apes and dinosaurs who have no life.

    1: a group of incompetent assholes who review the submissions of definitions here on urban dictionary. is it really necesary to have over 350 definitions for the word penis? the majority of the definitions on this site either repeat exactly what another definition says or they don't even add a single intelligent thought to the word being defined and is irrelevant. the fact that that i've written legitimate definitions to words that have not been defined yet further proves the editors' stupidity.

      * e.g.,  ... "i wrote a definition on urban dictionary to a word that hasn't been defined yet and the editors did not approve. i guess i'll just add a new definition for penis. 'the boy version of a vagina.' lol. this will never get approved but i'll send it anyway."
