A new word, ‘Israeled,’ has been added to the popular crowdsourced online dictionary, Urban Dictionary, to depict situation of forcible takeover.

The term is defined as when a person claims something that belongs to someone else as their own, akin to theft.

The definition includes an illustrative example of word usage where it describes a scenario of someone asking to share a table at a coffee shop but then requests the original occupant to leave the table because they have a meeting.

Earlier, a  screenshot of the new definition was posted by a user named Sarah Wilkinson on her X (formerly Twitter) account, and it has already garnered significant attention, with over 41,000 views and counting.

Urban Dictionary is a website established in 1999, featuring definitions that often revolve around everyday language uses not found in formal dictionaries. Therefore, the site is frequently visited by those interested in popular culture, internet culture, slang, and jargon.
