Why is Urban Dictionary trending?

Urban Dictionary is trending due to everyone searching the meaning of their names and then sharing them on Instagram and Twitter specifically.

The meanings seem to be unfathomably complimentary, which isn't generally much like Urban Dictionary's style...

Take my name for instance. A definition of Jenny written in 2018 reads: "She is sweet and kind. Her beauty is natural and is also smart. She treats you well and wants you to be happy."

Another says: "Jenny is one of the coolest broke people you'll meet. She'll catch your eyes with hers, as they change from dark brown to black match her mood. Something just feels right about her straight hair that matches her eyes, and her heart of gold. She is a true beauty, though she never realizes it and dislikes her appearance."

I'll take that!

People from all walks of life of course couldn't help but share their humorously glowing name definitions, which you can see some of below:

Raina got a nice result.

As did Shawntae...

However, not everyone was so convinced:

And Jai's results weren't quite matching the trend...
