Urban Dictionary Names trend takes over Instagram

If you’ve been on Instagram recently, your Stories have no doubt been flooded with the Urban Dictionary Names challenge.

To take part in the new trend, users have to search their name on Urban Dictionary, an online dictionary for slang words and phrases.

Then, they have to screenshot it and upload it to their Instagram Story using a specific sticker that says ‘show us your name in Urban Dictionary’.

Urban Dictionary was founded in 1999 by someone called Aaron Peckham and contains definitions of every word, event, or phrase that is popular on the internet.
