Note to urban dictionary admins

10 years ago

After an interesting discussion with some co-workers about having people breathing down your neck, i figured i should coin the term "neck-breather" in the famous urban dictionary.

The reply came instantly saying that an editor would take a look at the new entry and that - if acceptable - it would be added to the website. A couple of hours later i got an email saying that the term had been accepted. The email said something along these lines: "We have accepted your term. It should appear on this page in the next few days: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Neck-breather.

Is it me or the human part of this process should be the lengthier one? Why does it take a couple of days for something that has been approved to appear? Is the connection to the DB that slow? ;)
