Urban Dictionary is just about the worst possible reference for anything, though.

It's like a wiki that hasn't realised that you're supposed to revert vandalism rather than giggle at it.

But if your intention is to find out ways in which people might interpret this phrase, then that's exactly what you want.
(FWIW I've found urban dictionary to be honestly useful when trying to figure out what people mean when they use slang I've not heard of. Wikipedia - not so much)

Or ways in which somebody who was drunk in front of their computer once thought it might be funny to convince people that a phrase might be interpreted.
(Honestly, a bunch of the time it just doesn't bear much resemblance to any idiolect I've ever encountered, and more often than not seems to be obsessed with sex acts and/or misogynist slurs. I'm all for descriptive linguistics, but there are limits.)

Pasting nonsense definitions to urban dictionary that were made up on the spot is kind of a sport.
