A city in the middle of the desert (United Arab Emirates) with lots of fancy architecture and artificial islands. Dubai was a noname town 20 years ago, but now suddenly wants to be on par with cities such as Chicago or Seoul.
Despite its "heavenly" appearance that its wealthy owners constantly brag about, the city faces many issues. About 80% of its residents are migrant workers who built the city but get paid jack shit and sleep eight to a room. They're not much better off than slaves. The city's economy and culture is completely built around tourism so naturally prostitution is very present in Dubai, despite being illegal. Children often are forced into being camel jockeys and are sometimes physically and sexually abused. Homosexuals get executed when caught, since being gay is illegal in the UAE.
The city will soon be home to the completed Burj Dubai, the world's tallest skyscraper. Also the tallest building in history to be built entirely by slave labor.
Steve: Wow, I heard Dubai went up in less than a decade? Isn't that amazing?
Chris: Not really. It's not that hard to build a city when you have 1.3 million slaves doing it for you.

The Worst city in the whole entire world. A place for construction, Racial discrimination and sexism. The government and the police are biased. UAE nationals and fair skinned people are the best in dubai, all other nationalities suck There is nothing to do because of the heat. Oh my god and the construction workers. They are discriminated against, given such low salaries and some havent been paid for several months. They built the city goddamn it. Everything is sooooooooooooooo expensive there and it is not worth it. There is no street life in the new parts of dubai because of the construction. The amount of accidents which happen here is unbelievable, last year there were 600 road accidents, probably more. half the internet is blocked, the beaches are dangerous because there are dangerous creatures in the water. Overall, dubai is a crap place for losers
Dubai sucks, do not go there

You call something Dubai when your conception of it is trashy or fake. The adjective conveys the deception of the real life city of Dubai, beyond the shimmering surface there is nothing but shams and dirty money

A very modern, sophisticated, fashionable city in the United Arab Emirates. I'm pretty sure it's still second in population to Abu Dabhi, but its stunning architecture and economic power more than make up for that.
Dubai is a very wealthy place, and to be honest, the amount of money that goes in and out of that place- and more importantly, the kind of extravagant & pointless shit they spend it on- is just completely ridiculous.
I'd compare it to Miami of the middle east, with less old people I guess.
be warned though, UAE isn't as civilized as America or the UK & and some of there laws are still pretty lacking
There was a french boy who got raped on a beach in Dubai and tried to report it to the police, but HE got thrown in jail for illegal homosexual activity. That's fucked up, huh

The term for being scorching hot on a golf course. Preferably in the first round of a 36-hole nationally-ranked British Links Challenge being played at the Tribute GC in the Colony, TX, in 100+ degree weather.
"The temperature was hot, but DuBay was hotter!"

In lieu of Bye or Goodbye.
Used by cool people who are evolved and well-travelled and like inside jokes because it makes them feel superior.
Dubai for now.
