Can be abbreviated "UWOTD"
A daily
e-mail informing people of a stupid definition of a usually pre-existing word submitted by an anonymous source on the internet. Many find said words to be "clever" or "funny".
While many who receive this e-mail take pleasure in learning something humorous each day, inevitably it becomes an annoyance when the recipient doesn't check his/her e-mail for days at a time, causing a slight
inconvenience when they have to
read up to several definitions in one sitting.
Frank: "Hey Tom, did you see today's Urban Word of the Day?
Funny stuff!"
Tom: "Oh don't get me started! I had to read like 10 of those today! I haven't
checked my
e-mail in over a week!"
