Ralph

A user recently added a messy block of text relating to slang uses of Ralph in relation to vomit. We already have a verb ralph, but the text suggests there’s also an idiom calling Ralph which we don’t yet have, and that Ralph can potentially be used as a noun (and, attributively, as an adjective). Not having heard the word used in any of these ways myself, I’m not clear on how, exactly, it’s used, nor how to search for good attestations (as the name Ralph swamps these slang uses). — Vorziblix (talk · contribs) 04:21, 29 September 2018 (UTC)

calling Ralph is akin to the existing entry talk to Ralph on the big white telephone. Equinox ◑ 18:22, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
