  • 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".
