Definition

A meta, self-referential term for Urban Dictionary itself, used by contributors who've spent way too much time adding definitions to the site. It's the internet's way of creating a nickname for its own crowdsourced slang encyclopedia. When people say they're "adding it to the book," they mean immortalizing it in this very digital tome.

Example Usage

That phrase is so obscure I had to check the book to figure out what he meant.

God

A technologically advanced alien being from the planet of Genesis in the galaxy of Andromeda who arrived on Earth at about 212 BC via a wormhole on his starship. The starship had a name and it was called Noah's Ark (later the name becomes a myth in the Bible). This alien being calling himself God enslaved human beings and manipulated their minds so that they would all praise this alien named God. Jesus was created by God using a method similar to our IVF treatment, except much more advanced with a success rate of 100%. Jesus was then released into the community and God watched as society interacted with him. His research on the human race was completed when Jesus was hung out to dry on a cross. God returned to the galaxy of Andromeda and now lives with his wife Mary, 2 boys and a girl. His longevity is due to the technology of his society.
