Needs durable cites. Ungoliant MMDCCLXIV 01:41, 14 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

It seems just about attestable on Usenet. Smurrayinchester (talk) 10:38, 14 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
... but not with that definition! Dbfirs 09:29, 15 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
I think this is all traceable to Justin B Rye's site and people who've read it. It seems to go back to 1998 at least. And it does seem that the Usenet links are of the same definition as ours. Soap (talk) 22:25, 18 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
Well I haven't read it, but it seems strange to have a main definition based on a single website. Can we not find cites for the more general usage that I would think is more common? Dbfirs 09:30, 22 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
So, passes? - -sche (discuss) 22:14, 14 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
Strike that, it's not going to pass until someone adds the cites so it can be ascertained whether they support the given definition or not. - -sche (discuss) 23:02, 18 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
