Achilz commented on the word unbe
This is not a word. It is a word fragment. Half of the usage examples aren't appropriate, as they merely use "unbe" as a hyphenated fragment of "unbecoming," which is an actual word. "Unbe" has no commonly accepted meaning, is not in common usage and shouldn't be in here. The vast majority of words in the Urban Dictionary are more commonly in use than unbe, especially text abbreviations like "ur" or "lmfao".

Unbeknownst to Achilz this battle has been lost. Usage examples are harvested by uncritical software agents that will garner any matching string. The comments section is the place to contribute improvements. "Do not persist in your unbelief..."
